timefulness

the Long Now Foundation (http://longnow.org/), a worthy subject in itself, brought Marcia Bjornerud’s book Timefulness to my attention. I was immediately interested by the prospect of reading a contemporary work on geologic time and hoping for some poetic intersubjective understanding (https://archetyp.al/posts/island-universes/) of what it’s like to experience deep time mapped onto physical space. I imagine looking upon the face of a cliff, with many layers of exposed rock, and wandering back in time like leafing through pages in a book.
