And it simply means making time according to the thriving of

the other living things around us.

So are the ecosystems that we live in, are they thriving?

Are the temporal relationships that make up those ecosystems functioning as they should?

Or is there an element of arrhythmia creeping in?

Are things being teased apart?

Is strain coming into the process?

Is there a disordering of the tempo?

He says that, you know, it takes us out of clock time into time that's made in, through a sense of kinship, through relationship, through my relationship to the thriving or otherwise of the things around me.

And it's not, he says, it's not a kind of, it doesn't mean that you lose touch with or lose focus on the, you know, the urgency for change, you know, the urgency of, you know, that ticking clock that we all feel, but it takes the panic,

out of it.

Okay.

It's as for wanting a better, better way of putting it on paraphrasing because it, it, it situates your sense of time, not in this, in this sense of, of things running out of, um, out of control, but in relationship, you know, it situates, it situates our sense of time and the relationships that we are involved in.

It asks you to cultivate a sense of time according to an awareness of all the different temporalities and, and temporal relationships and coordinations that, that happen around us.

And,

then the question is, what can we do to support that, to further the thriving of those, you know, to remedy where they've been kind of thrown out of joint?

What am I doing in that?

So it's, I mean, yeah, the question for me, just to come back to, you know, what do we do?

I think it's to frame every initiative, every conundrum, every question that we have, every problem, and how does responding to this

foster a greater sense of connection.
