There is no center and no apex. The path it travels is in question. Our best effort imagines time as as some sort of revolving door that spins evenly around us.
We feel in control. We feel out of control. We feel back in control.
We think we are the center. The center. We create a god that fits our concept of time. We confuse god with time, time with love, love with desire, desire with control.
Control. Control time and you control god. We love ourselves in the center. Time spins around us.
