Looking at Time is like looking at a Tree

If we look into the past it is like looking at the roots of a tree. When we are in the present it is like the trunk of a tree above the ground. But, looking into the future is like the leaves or fruit of the tree. So, in some ways it is all there (at the same time) like a tree but different parts like roots and trunk and branches, twigs and leaves and fruit having different purposes but all of it exists in a way in the same moment if you are capable of seeing it.

It's beautiful when viewed in this way.

From my point of view when I am looking into the future it's like if one lay at the foot of a tree looking up. If one is looking into the past it is like digging up the roots to look at them. But, you have to be careful whatever you do or the whole tree dies. So, most of the time you want to leave the tree of time alone so it doesn't just fall on you and kill you one day.
