Making Friends with Time

Partner:

Daniel Bärlocher

Beatrice Rensch-Riemann

We felt that we had all of us made friends with time through pain and accident.

• "My damaged body made me a present of time".
• "When we have ‘coenasthesie’, an all-over perception
• of the body, that we know and work with time.
• "My body puts/gives the limits of time on meaning, joy and lightness", that time represents; "(un)happiness", "patience with myself", "demands".
• "Time is unrepeatable, I am happy when I forget time".
• "There is a fear that time will end".
• "We needed to see if we could take and receive time".
• "We need time out".
• "The present is a gift, times gift is found at the edge,in frequency versus intensity, when we have ‘it is quiet in the eye of the hurricane, that we need to stop, and find what is important, finding good in time is a key to making friends with time, a deep closeness transcends time and space, bears have time because they eat all day and they have hibernation which is timeless.

We found that the time of the Edding pen is variable.

That now we feel that we make friends with time through awareness of everything, that we have choices, and that when it is time to leave, it is time to leave.

Then Ferdinand Kosters added:-

Time is the price:

• For our experience with contacts.
• For reference to borders/points.
• For play with/in others.
• For the other part of human partnership.
• For investment in the fullness of life, 
  the higher deeper space of life.
• For the treasure of all this.
• For the follow-ups after having friends.
• For dealing with the happiness and pain of all of it.
