Thompson, who wrote, back in 1960,'The Maya conceived of the divisions of time as burdens which were carried through all eternity by relays of bearers... [not] the journey of one bearer and his load, but of many bearers, each with his own division of time on his back.

In what Thompson calls the'never-ceasing journey of time', each bearer of time plays his part in a cosmic relay, preparing to rest on completion of his individual stage, and to pass on the burden to the next carrier. Please follow the instructions below..
