In Bali there is a construct of time that is a thousand years old based on the lunar calendar that uses 10 cycles of time to determine the quality of each person and each day that the priests use to determine when to marry, plant crops and hold ceremony as well as dozens of other considerations.
I have been studying the Wariga here since 2017 and operate by it daily. The relationship to time is as a living entity that we are enfolded into. Deeply rewarding and fascinating.
Is our perception of time circular, or elliptic, especially at longer time scales? A circle implies that our perception of time is constant as we move through it, whereas an ellipse implies that we perceive time as faster or slower. I perceive slower winters and faster summers, for example, and as an interface to thinking about time on the yearly scale, the Analemma diagram helps me see this https://www.are.na/block/31606342

Seasons definitely vary significantly by place!
