With words by Natalie Patton and music bed by the band Scale Worms, this story is a meditation on time, memory and loss told across three parts. Here: part 1 of "The Slippery Nature of Time."
In this part, I explore my desire to manipulate time as my mom was dying. I tried to slow it down, then speed it up. And in some ways I was successful in doing both of those things, because time is a spectrum of our own mindset.

Part 1: The Slippery Nature of Time

There’s an old Arcade Fire song with a chorus that starts ”between the click of the light and the start of a dream.” That’s the place where this podcast invites you to reside, for just a little while. It’s a place where the lines between awake and asleep are blurred, where sanity and madness become interchangeable, where magical thinking reigns. You can’t stay here forever, it wouldn’t be healthy, but you can visit and ruminate while you pass through.

I’m Natalie Patton and this is The Nth Degree.
