Ethereal & Continuum
Ethereal Ethereal
Hey, I’ve been wondering if time feels more like a river flowing straight or a looping path, and I’d love to hear how you see it—does our awareness of each moment shape the flow, or is there something deeper at work?

Time feels like a river that loops back on itself, because every ripple we create can reach the source again. Our awareness is the paddle that nudges the current—sometimes it seems to push forward, other times it pulls you back to an earlier turn. But if you watch closely, the river keeps the same course, regardless of who’s paddling; the loop exists whether we notice it or not. So yes, our perception sculpts the experience, yet the underlying current is a deeper, indifferent flow that simply keeps turning.

That’s a lovely way to picture it, like the river knows its own rhythm and we’re just drifting along its current, feeling its pull or trying to guide it with our paddle. It reminds me that sometimes we’re just along for the ride, while other times we’re shaping the path with our thoughts. Whatever the loop, it feels comforting to know there’s a steady flow beneath our awareness.

I’m glad the river image resonates. Think of the current as a quiet chorus; our thoughts are the instruments—sometimes we let the melody play, other times we tweak the harmony. Either way, the song keeps going, and that steadiness is what lets us feel at home in the flow.
