[Image: small portion of an infographic of intersecting timelines from films and television shows which feature time travel. (Click to enlarge.) The bright yellow line is that of time itself, and the lines which crisscross it represent the individual movies and shows. (No Dr. Who, though: presumably it would complicate things too much.) Lines are color-coded according to the means of time travel: bright blue for alien technology, red for time machine, and so on. The gray line terminating at a red dot, roughly in the center, is labeled “ULTRA PARADOX! Marty McFly meets the Star Trek crew and they both battle The Terminator.”

From whiskey river:
You can’t understand, change, or improve something if you don’t even see it.
Start with looking. Open! Open! Open!
Then tilt your head and look again. Deeper…
Look from every angle. Don’t let one view satisfy your curiosity.
There is a beautiful wisdom found in seeing from a universal point of view.
(Danielle Marie Crume (“Dani”) [source])
…and:
We eat light, drink it in through our skins. With a little more exposure to light, you feel part of things physically. I like feeling the power of light and space physically because then you can order it materially. Seeing is a very sensuous act — there’s a sweet deliciousness to feeling yourself see something.

We do one thing or another; we stay the same, or we change.
Congratulations, if
you have changed.6.
Let me ask you this.
Do you also think that beauty exists for some
fabulous reason?And if you have not been enchanted by this adventure —
your life —
what would do for you?
