The Single Present

This is the second piece in my Threads of Time series, where I explore the nature of time.

This piece explores the idea that it is the future that becomes the present, instead of the present becoming the future. Each moment of the future begin as having seemingly endless possibilities that continuously becomes less, until finally only one remains. These moments of only a single possibility continuously shape the present moment, giving the illusion that we are moving along a timeline.

Here, I captured how the present becomes the single future moment, reminding us that the selected future depends on our collective actions along with a touch of divine will.
