I got to thinking.
Apparently time seems to go faster when you are older because you are "embroidering" a bank of imagery already in place, embellishing, whereas when you are young and everything is new and fresh, each memory is denser and time seems to contain more information.
Art is a way of making the commonplace fresh again, thus slowing time down. Art is the fountain of youth. How fortuitous.
