There’s the always preexisting, and having no end.

There’s the notion of being all powerful — because nothing can stand against time, can it?

Not mountains, not armies.

And time is, of course, all-healing.

Give anything enough time, and everything is taken care of: all pain encompassed, all hardship erased, all loss subsumed.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

Remember, man, that thou art dust; and unto dust thou shalt return.
