TEMPORALITY — [Noun] The condition of being limited to or existing within time. From Late Latin temporalitas, from Latin temporalis ("of time") and the suffix -itas ("-ity"), denoting state or condition. Unlike "eternity," which denotes an infinite, unbounded expanse, or "timelessness," which suggests a serene exemption from time's flow, temporality is the specific, defining pressure of finitude. It is the fading warmth of a stone after sunset, the single bottle of wine saved for an occasion that never arrives, and the quiet panic of catching, in a mirror, the precise moment youth becomes memory. We do not live in time; we are its momentary consequence.
