The way in which we perceive and experience time varies from person to person, but certain things remain universal. One of these is the ebb and flow of life; each moment ebbs away like a tide receding from shore before it rushes back as if pulled by an unseen force. Understanding how this is changing from every present moment, anyone can influence their own perception of time by simply changing their state of mind. 

“Time exists in order that everything doesn’t happen all at once . . . and space exists so that it doesn’t all happen to you.” -Susan Sontag
