““Time is said to be like a sandy wind which erodes all that rises up against it. Time is more like a flowing river, dominantly following the path of least resistance, but not purely following one direction. The flow of a river twists and turns and has eddies which flow backward. Likewise, the cosmos doesn’t move purely in one direction, or even in two directions. We live in a world where time moves backwards, forwards, and several sideways directions. Time flows freely, but like a river it obeys the contours of a landscape.””
