Linear time is a western invention

As the year draws to a close, a poem of Lina Bo Bardi has stayed with me since I encountered it in 'What Freedom Means To Me' - an inspiring celebration of the multi-screen films of Isaac Julien at Tate Britain, London this summer.

The Italian-born Brazilian architect wrote : 'Linear time is a western invention; time is not linear, it is a marvellous entanglement where, at any moment, points can be chosen and solutions invented, without beginning or end.'

I like to think of time like this because it encapsulates the need to avoid becoming a slave to deadlines many of which are self imposed.

Taking time is important in order to be open to possibilities and free to improvise.
