The word currency is derived from the Latin currere, which means ‘to flow’. When sand flows in an hourglass it signifies that time is money, but also that it’s time to go to the beach.
Time at the beach flows like an accordion. The movement of water and land contract and expand time - much like a breathing lung.
Breathe in time, breathe out dollars and cents.
If time was indeed our currency, a Time Stock Exchange would be erected on the world’s grandest beach, and data analysts would sit in front of screens counting tiny little newborn turtles making their way to the ocean’s great depression.
A whale would beach itself just to remind everyone that life is priceless.
