ABSTRACT
We have a very complex relationship with time. Through awareness of it, we can function in the world, choreograph the intricate dance of modern society and `be on time'. However, awareness of time is one of the great sources of human suffering as well. Through the knowledge of time we anticipate losses, see the aging process, and, ultimately, recognize our own mortality. We experience mourning and the unidirectional ¯ow of past to present to future. We see, how in this temporal sense, we can never go home again.
