Time is both a content and a container, the flow and the framework of flow. It contains time to better let it go. Faced with death, the order of linear time explodes under the onslaught of the emotions that overwhelm us. The guts of time explode. With imminent death, the dramatic nature of time appears in a furious way: time pushes us, sword in our back, towards the precipice, it nibbles away our capital of life every day. The blackout is coming soon. What to do to live the moment yet to be lived? Above all: take care of time. My ambition is what I call here “care of time”. Take care of time before taking care of body and soul. Wait for time to better live what remains to be lived.
