The turtle arrived just at the right time. Or shall we say, "The turtle was where it was in space and time, Vincent just became aware of it. " Vincent looked into the turtle's eyes as he snapped a cell phone picture of it. The turtle looked into Vincent's eyes. In that moment, in a flash, Vincent felt the river that runs through it all. No words, concepts or concepts could define it. Nor did they have to.
Sign Of The Times?
5:07am: Route 114, Peabody, MA exit off of Route 1 South.. One minute to coffee. 20 minutes to The Club. Vincent found time useful to to know how long it would take him to get to work in the morning. Physical time has its utility. Psychological time has no value whatsoever and is detrimental. Vincent thought of J. Krishnamurti's talk:
"Psychological time exists only when there is comparison, when there is a distance to be covered between 'what is' and 'what should be', which is the desire to become somebody or nobody, all that involves psychological time and the distance to be covered. So one says, is there a tomorrow, psychologically? And this you will not be able to answer. Is there tomorrow - 'tomorrow' having come into being because I have had a moment of complete freedom, a complete feeling of something, and it has gone. I would like to keep it, to make it last. Making it last is a form of greed. We struggle to achieve that thing again. All this is implied in psychological time. When you have some experience of joy, of pleasure or whatever it is, live it completely and do not demand that it should endure, because then you are caught in time."
