“We are just in an extended cycle”

Interesting
Ever see an extended “day”
And extended “year”
And extended “moon phase”
Cycles are rigid in term of time
Everything else can change
A clock’s face is round for a reason
It doesn’t extend
The forces of a cycle can combine to alter the environment
Example: the Earth’s rotation (cycle) gives us seasons (cycles) that change how much day and night (cycles) we get unless it’s an equinox
Even with all that fluctuation, change, etc. the timing never changes
