Another year has just begun with the switch of a minute. I am still where I was last year. But now my entire body and the surrounding objective reality has entered year 2024. There is a proposition by scientists to declare with this year – the beginning of the Anthropocene epoch. The Holocene will gradually transition away. The proposition stems from the grim acknowledgment that we human beings are now controlling the planet. The ongoing changes in winds, currents, and ecosystems are driven by our actions. We have disrupted the universe’s mysterious algorithm. Yet, I feel that the microcosms around me are beyond my control. I am moving ahead into the time-space continuum with only actions, leaving behind intentions and desires. How is time so contradictory yet reconcilable?
