A pause for Baba-Time

Evan: you see how this top is checkered red, yellow, blue, yellow, but when you spin it, you see a circle of purple and a circle of green? 

I do.

Evan: When the top spins, the colors mix and you see a ring of purple and a ring of green. But when it stops spinning, there’s no purple, no green. Which one is real? You think “real” is when it isn’t spinning. You think real is red and blue. But when it’s spinning, purple is real. Right?

Right.

Evan: So it seems to me, you should be able to handle time in the same way. 

Can you say more about that?

Evan: When you’re in school, time goes slowly. But during recess, or when you’re playing a computer game, time goes so fast it seems to stop! 

Um….

Evan: If you just do what you love, time will spin like a top, and everything will be in the present, and no one will have to die.
