Soft watches and traveling Saturdays

May 7th, 2005 · No Comments

Inspired by the theory of general relativity, this iconic painting, by iconic Catalan painter Salvador Dali, inspires reflection on this traveling Saturday.

Time slip…
You pack up a tiny part of your normal life and leave all the rest behind.

Time slip…
An airplane holds you in limbo for many hours.
Time slip…
Sunrise and sunset in Barcelona are six hours earlier than in Cambridge; you re-set your watch.
Time slip…
But local mealtimes also differ–lunch is at 2 p.m.; dinner at 10 or 11.

So what time is it? Is it time to eat? to sleep? or (of course) to blog!
