Matter occupies time
Apprehending time on the coast, the sea boundary aesthetically conspires as the relations between different aspects of material existence organized into a shifting texture of visual delight.
“This closure of nature does not carry with it any metaphysical doctrine of the disjunction of nature and mind.” – Alfred North Whitehead
Here now
Then there
Forward destiny
Attempting to sort out elements involved in the appreciation of time, objects in motion momentarily organize into aesthetic coherence. The world appears different driven by the development of conceptual understanding.

Adventurous journey
Exploring meaning
Lasting value
Traveling across decision junctures, the philosophical concept of the ‘eternal return’ emerges.
