‘If time were a bolt of cloth,’ said Om, ‘I would cut out all the bad parts.
How would yours look?
Snip out the scary nights and stitch together the good parts, to make time bearable.
Om has concerns about his: would you have enough fabric?
Then I could wear it like a coat, always live happily.’
Or far too much?
