one of my favorite Einstein quotes is "Time and space are not conditions in which we live, but modes by which we think", and I reflect on that a lot: how time is our own perception, projected onto moments. plants and trees experience time so differently than humans! I think there are only benefits when it comes to allowing the natural world around us to shape our perception of time in the way you write about here. it sounds like you have been in dialogue with the island for the past year, and that you have been listening deeply to what it has to tell you.
