I meant to add some more "Time" stuff.
One of the most fascinating time pieces is the 10,000 year clock at The Long Now Project, a multi-disciplinary project designed to help humanity focus on the long-term rather than the short term. The project encompasses music, culture, literature, science and more.
One of the offshoots is The Rosetta Project which aims to document all human languages!
The remarkable Brian Eno is a collaborator in the project and has relased a CD for the project.
He also features in the "Time" segment on the 1 Giant Leap DVD. An excellent resource.
I was going to start musing about time - about cyclical and linear time, about journey time vs. moment time, about chronos and kairos... but ... maybe next time...
I've done a lot with time as well. One Easter camp in 2000 we used the theme "In moments like these". Out of that came a pile of resources linked with music and movies...
1. Pink Floyd Time with Ecclesiastes 3 embedded alongside the years from 1960 to 2060.
2. Eiffel 65's "Now is forever" with Matthew 6:31-34 embedded.
3. Fleetwood Mac, "Don't Stop"
On other occasions I've used Michael W. Smith's video clip, "This is your time", found on the WOW 2001 DVD.
There are a few television advertisements that focus on time. There's the Mainland Cheese ads of NZ, reminding us that the good things of life take time. There's a Mercedes ad taking us through the coupe over time.

hey, I remember that Pink Floyd piece! You gave me a copy! thanks for the memory jog! Who are Eiffel 65??
Now I'll have to hunt your tv blog for the ads too!
It's such a huge topic every time I start to even think about it. I'm doing a presentation on worship in August, and more and more its turning into how we experience and re-present time, space, image, and word. Would love to chat about it sometime.
