--about a concept of time. but teacher comments were that it was more of a movie review. tsk.

in between they fall in love

in the end they are together

but in the beginning…?

then think about Time

if time is a circle

if time can flow back like a stream and people and objects get trapped in the past

just as Einstein may have dreamt it

as he has written, if people can travel to the past

or get caught in between past and present, present and future

whichever side you are looking on

but here they have changed the past:

by a mailbox at the glass house by the lake

here dog footprints and a box in the attic are left behind

here an orchard tree grows out of nowhere in Chicago

here he kisses her on her birthday, while they dance under the moonlight

here Persuasion is returned

here a man does not die

where does it all begin?

else there would be no love story

then again, the greatest love stories are made through Time
