“Time”
“Even within human life, time stretched and shrank. A child’s day resembled an octogenarian’s month, not, as most people claimed, because a day represented a larger percentage of a child’s life than of an adult’s but because the number of discoveries made by a child in a given period of time so outnumbered those made by an adult in the same period that time distended for children. Children also experienced an expansion of time because their consciousness in those early years was still permeated by the Eternity of Being. Adults, conversely, lost touch with Eternity and fell into repetitive activities which served to make the wheel of time seem to spin faster.”
