Consider the wind, its invisible,no one has ever seen it... so nicely written ,Dan, 'it' made me think.
The wind is always new, no wind is ever old, still it was always there from the beginning. It was there to surround the dino's, it was there to move the ocean's from the beginning of times.. Yes , it was always present, yet never old wind, or new wind, we have to do with the only availiable from the beginning of times.. The past history's did not leave any imprint on the wind's patterns, it leave's no footsteps or traces, the wind has no rememberance for the past...., strangely, it is the parent of the past, but is not capable of transferring the past, it is the parent of the paradox, not capable of carrying the paradox. The wind we expierience, is the very same old wind Columbus was breathing, the same old stuff that was surrounding Ceasar or Jesus on the mountain,......it is also feeding us with air, and will do so forever, coming in waves, wind comes in waves. Dynamic quality comes in waves, static imprints are left in th past in wavepackets, spherical models, mirroring time in reverse. There is no old dynamic quality, it is always new,it was always there from the early beginning It was there to surround the dino's, it was there to move the ocean's from the beginning of times. Etc, ....you can fill in the field.. There is no old dynamic quality, and there is no new dynamic quality, it was always present from the beginning. It is parenting the paradox, yet not capable of carrying it...how paradoxal... Wind is following the arrow of time, following dynamic quality, it is supporting life in a pattern of preference.
