Michael Estabrook Frozen River Some physicists say (not Einstein) that time is not like a river flowing from the past through the present into the future but instead a frozen river no past or future no flowing of anything anywhere everything that’s ever happened or is happening or will happen is there already frozen together (this is not the easiest concept in the world to grasp) time doesn’t move just sits there in a big block of ice. So theoretically I’m in our living room back in our house on Northfield Avenue Mom’s on the sofa watching TV Gunsmoke or Perry Mason and I’m ten running my Matchbox cars up and down the hills and valleys that are her arms and legs and I haven’t a care in the world.
