Jamie Bear: What are the next steps for our listeners? How can they apply to their lives? He says make friends with old people. Make friendships that cross generations, multi-generational friendships. Next week we'll hear from Dr. Megan Sullivan of Notre Dame and Dr. Alan Lightman of MIT.
If only you had 15 more minutes, or were 5 years younger, or a year into the future — then, things would be better. Maybe even *you* would be better.
But maybe time is more than a sparring partner. More than something you curse or see as a thief. It might just be an integral part of what it means to be human.
In today's episode, we discuss with Dr. James K. A. Smith what it might look like to *partner* with time. We talk about Jamie's new book, How to Inhabit Time, and how we can learn to appreciate the fleeting, ephemeral moments of this life.
