Time is a stream of intimately related flows. Relation of any kind affects both the overall flow and character and specific threads of flow within the stream. Since animals and plants live in different rate-phases of flow, relating with animals or plants has a more dramatic effect… on both humans and the relational subjects. For humans, relating with something small tends to compress time. For the small being, relating with something large tends to expand time. But it is not merely the temporal frequency or ‘wavelength’ that is affected, it is also the way time contains, transports and modifies relational content… and the content itself.

Time warps in relation. No machines required.
