without ti, time would be me

Without ti, time would be me. Here are a few definitions for ti:

- the syllable for the seventh tone of a diatonic scale.

- An eastern Asian tropical shrub (Cordyline terminalis) having a terminal tuft of long narrow leaves and panicles of white, yellowish, or reddish flowers.

- The symbol for the element titanium: A strong, low-density, highly corrosion-resistant, lustrous white metallic element that occurs widely in igneous rocks and is used to alloy aircraft metals for low weight, strength, and high-temperature stability. Atomic number 22; atomic weight 47.87 melting point 1,660°C; boiling point 3,287°C; specific gravity 4.54

- abbr. Bible: Titus

- TI - time (shortwave transmission)

Without me, there also would be no time. I'm always complaining there is not time, for this or that. Probably the fault lies with me, not ti. But what is time. Is it the fourth dimension? If we can move along this dimension in only one direction, then perhaps it is only half a dimension, or no dimension at all, since the movement is timed, we cannot jump about: in that respect is sort of fixed.

In Star Trek they were violating time all the time. They would travel back in time. They would travel faster than the speed of light. Speed is an interesting component of time: velocity = distance / time. Since time is fixed, we change distance more quickly, say, if we are late for something.

This image shows the branches and twigs of a tree, frozen in time and space. Frozen in time via the photograph. Frozen in space via the ice that has formed around the branches. But eventually time takes over. In time the sun melts the ice. The branches are again free, free to breath. The ice turns to water, runs into streams and rivers and eventually makes its way to the ocean. The water of the ocean, over vast periods of time, will evaporate back into the atmosphere, and the cycle will eventually complete when another rain drop or snow flake is formed.

Faith is -- knowing that there is an ocean when seeing only a snowflake.
