The Time Being

When you lose a job, sometimes we're paralyzed by a kind of depression or anxiety. But also it's a time where you get to clarify what's really important. This is like having crossed over rivers and climbed mountains. Even though the mountains and rivers still exist, I have already passed them and now reside in the jeweled palace and the Vermilion Tower. Time swallows things up. So you could say I climbed the mountain and that was time being. If time keeps coming and going, you are the time being right now. And this is the meaning of time being.
