time

. . . in the 3rd year of secondary school, the geography teacher explained how running water eroded rocks . . . this is great material for Taoism and I recruited a few friends to form the stonewatchers society whose purpose was to sit beside streams and observe the process of erosion . . . Barney, our teacher, declined the post of honorary president, sensing his reputation could be at risk in this surreal society . . . it was summer and we enjoyed the game for a while, not realising that if we had sat long enough and quiet enough, we may have transcended linear time and seen the rocks become sand . . .
