Augustine on time

Augustine grappled with time as fundamentally mysterious—the present has no duration, the past is memory, the future is anticipation—and concluded that time exists primarily in the mind. His confusion is useful because it suggests our sense of rushing or having time is less about clock mechanics and more about how we hold moments in consciousness.
