How would you embody "time"?

Time is a man made construct.
There is no time, it is always and eternally now.

There is ‘clock’ time, designed to create structure, but ‘time’ itself is an illusion.

There are a number of different arrows of time. Entropic, sidereal, and psychological are the ones we deal with most often, but there are several others (which deal with various subatomic processes). Time is not a single phenomenon, but several.

Time is what you make it really. Of course we structure our lives around a 24 hour clock but for me time is the element of life gone by. Time doesn’t exist in the future because it has ticked by yet. So for me the only time that has meaning is the here and now the moment I am living relative to the years of my life gone by. Life ticks by quickly and you just don’t really know how many minutes, hours or days you have left in this world. So I try and ignore time and live each minute like it’s my last one.

It’s the sense that there is a before and a yet to come. We are always in the present, but the present changes and won’t come back. We make all kinds of efforts to predict what will come and to make it into what we want when it arrives.

Time is the way we make sense of the universe.

How foolish it would be for us to spend our lives accumulating wealth and power. A lifetime spent amassing wealth is a lifetime wasted. Jesus wisely reasoned: “For what benefit will it be to a man if he gains the whole world but forfeits his soul? or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?” Wealthy King Solomon spent much of his time acquiring homes, gardens, provinces and all sorts of luxury and he concluded that “it is a vain, futile business.”( Matt. 16:26, Eccl. 1:14) But what has been done or what we have failed to do in the past cannot be changed. Wasted time cannot be bought back. That time is gone forever. It cannot be regained or used again, no matter how we try. But the present time and the future time offer opportunities. What opportunities? These opportunities may present themselves in various ways. But however they come, sensible man will make the most of them, buying them out and putting them to good use.
For some they feel a definite and urgent need for gaining a clear understanding of the Bible. They want knowledge that is solid and reliable, facts on which to base their convictions and hopes. They seek a guide to help solve the everyday problems of life, to aid in making right decisions in times of crisis. And, above all, they are interested in God’s promise of everlasting life and in knowing his requirements. This information the Bible will give them, but they need to understand what they read.( Ps. 119:105, 160; John 17:3)

Time is what space divides into two halves. Mass will distort both space and time (called spacetime) and that’s what causes gravity.

Time is god. God is time. That is, neither actually exist, even though the majority of people seem to have uncritical acceptance of the concepts.

“Had we but world enough and time, this coyness, lady were no crime.”

Time is that which heals all wounds and wounds all heels and makes it necessary for us to die someday.

Time is not an illusion. It exists, in a fundamental sense, as a dimension in spacetime. If time travel is possible (which theoretically it is), then the past, present and future are all happening simultaneously then and now, and we experience the passage of time by traveling inexorably through this dimension.

Yes,it exists because we can measure it.
;)

The passing of time is an illusion, a persistent ineradicable illusion.

Time is a product of a diivided mind which has divided existence into past and future.

Time will exist whereever this division occurs, but ceases to be when the mind has united itself.

If change is real, then time is real, in the sense that time is our way of measuring real changes relative to each other (such as the changes mentioned in Smash’s links, above).

I see time as our perception of growth and movement.

Time is a human invention. It’s a method of measuring the distance between events.

I like to think that time is the multi-verse, and I will give it the body of a wagon wheel. I see it as a serial loop, but no simple loop. It is a multi-dimensional looping mentality, that does not travel around from front to end like a snake biting its tail. Rather, this infinitely looping mind, that I have in mind, loops outward from its core position and through each moment and event as they wax and wane. The mind collects what it finds useful, and discards the rest. Before it leaves the moment, it plants the seed that will be its harvest on the next loop through. Each instance of completion enables the infinitely looping mind to rework the beginning just a little bit more to its own advantage.
