Episode notes

Feeling caught between the pressures of time and the urgency of climate change, the narrator seeks to embrace multiple perspectives of time. They find inspiration in experiencing different temporalities, like geological time and the changing seasons. By cultivating chrono diversity, or engaging with various lenses of reality, they are able to navigate these feelings and find a sense of balance and well-being.

When you’re on the clock, you’re always running out of time – because in our culture, time is money. The relentless countdown is making us and the planet sick. But clock time isn’t the only kind. There are older, deeper rhythms of time that sustain life. What would it be like to live more in tune with nature’s clocks?

**Deep Time is a series all about the natural ecologies of time from To The Best Of Our Knowledge and the Center for Humans and Nature. We'll explore life beyond the clock, develop habits of "timefulness" and learn how to live with greater awareness of the many types of time in our lives.
