About this video
I used to think I was running out of time. To figure it all out. But what if time isn’t real—at least, not the way we think it is?

Journal prompts:
“If time wasn’t linear—if my past, present, and future all existed at once—what would I choose to feel or focus on right now?”
"What if the present moment is not a fleeting sliver between past and future—but the only place where eternity expresses itself?"
-- In this stillness, who are you when you're not racing toward a future or haunted by a past?
