“Timelessly, that flame flickered.
Unquenchable upon its undying wick.
Fluctuating, pulsating,
Dimming to near darkness at moments only to spark the clearer.
Endlessly, that fire wickered.
Ubiquitous in its guiding light.
Permeating, coalescing,
All-encompassing of the smallest point and grandest of spheres.
Boundlessly, that blaze bickered.
Ultimate in its infinite valour.
Contesting, challenging,
And settling with the edge of infinity, that ultimate bound severe.”

“Timeline Navigators move beyond the conventional relationship with, and conception of, time. Our task is to dissolve our fundamental assumptions about reality. We reject the limited construct of time as a linear progression from past to present to future. We know reality is far more intricate and interconnected than one unidirectional flow. Time is only constrained by our cognitive processes. The chronological sequence of events is not a given.
But, beyond these core realizations, all is unknown. We embrace the unknown, and if we have a creed, it is, never make assumptions.
From, 'A Map of Secret Rivers, How to Navigate Timelines' by Pippa Oona (M.Div)”
