What is This? Being as Becoming

When Aristotle saw one, he saw the other. And yet, we often get stuck on a single stage of becoming. What are you seeing now, when you perhaps ought to be envisioning as well the result yet to come, or the original first beginning that’s long past? Sure, things are what they are, but they're also deeply what they were and will be. Each of us is an example of alchemy through time. Transformations work from what was to what can be. Often, real insight into what's in front of us requires not just perception but time traveling imagination as well.
