One thing that draws me to Bitcoin is the longing for meaningful time. In other words, I want to live a meaningful life. And I hear this expressed again and again by other Bitcoiners. It's been that way since I started trading dollars for it. That was close to 4 years ago.

All we got is our time. It's precious. At 51 I feel the weight of it more and more. Lately, again, I find myself reading random passages out of "Time and The Soul," by Jacob Needleman.

This morning I ran across this passage. I offer it to Bitcoiners and beyond. Hopefully it will help us get one step closer to getting our time and meaning back.

"We have cut off the time of the heart from the time of the physical world. It is an artificial separation. When ancient peoples--cultures still informed by the old wisdom--spoke of time as a cycle, it was because the drama of the heart and the life of nature and matter we're not isolated from each other. Science gave us our mastery over nature by cutting away the time of the heart. We live in inorganic time. We can no more master inorganic time than we can walk through solid matter. Our flesh cannot penetrate this kind of time. Time as we know it is no more or less than solid matter extended and attenuated." (Pg.49)

To learn more about "the time of the heart" I invite you to check out "Time and The Soul."
