I agree with you that time is change. I also liked the use of Taoist philosophy in your idea and in the simplicity and humbleness of your paper. Best of luck with your book.
Bravo! Matt, how could you say so much with so few words?
Lao Tzu?

Dear Matthew,
Beautiful: “In summary - time is the medium of change which allows form to manifest from the unmanifested.” I hope that time will allow your book to become manifest.

Excellent! As soon as I buy personal statement on Pimion, I will be able to submit my resume to writers house to become an essayist there. Personal statement is required of about 5-6 pages. I haven't heard of such a huge essay. Hope the info is true to life.
