America was unfamiliar from the beginning — not to my eyes first, but to my body. In this new place, I no longer knew which time zone my body belonged to. The morning in Korea and the morning in New York exist simultaneously, yet I could be fully present in neither. There are two kinds of time. One is the time of clocks — measurable, divisible, uniform. The other is what Bergson called durée — duration, the time of lived experience, which flows without pause and cannot be divided.
