LIGHT (as speed)
Kitty runs across the field at dusk, chasing nothing in particular.
For a moment, the world stretches.
Everything moves - yet time feels strangely still.
Light travels through vacuum at a constant speed of approximately 300,000 km/s. This speed is the same for all observers, regardless of their own motion.
Even if you were traveling close to the speed of light and turned on a flashlight, the light would still move away from you at 300,000 km/s.
The speed of light is not just constant — it is the maximum speed at which information or causality can propagate through spacetime.
The maximum speed of the Universe is not an arbitrary speed limit. It is a consequence of how space and time are woven together into a single structure: spacetime.
Our motion through spacetime is constant.
When we are at rest in space, we move fully through time.
When something moves at the speed of light through space, it does not experience time.
If your “speed” through life were constant, what would that change? When you rush in one direction, where do you slow down elsewhere? What in your life might be asking for a different balance of motion?
