who knows who and from where, from what crack, from which side. I was in nature, I really liked it. And how time changed — it was just amazing. You know, earlier when I traveled, I noticed that on just one flight, a 15-hour or 20-hour one, my nails could suddenly grow very much. I was always surprised by this, like how is that possible? That is, I had just cut them before the flight, and normally it takes quite a few days for them to grow, at least 5 days probably for them to grow as much as they grew. But there they grew as much in just one 15-hour flight as they usually do in 5 days. Well, fine, there are theories about that. On the internet many scientists and doctors claim that people who travel often age faster, I would not say that this is so. Maybe everything is completely the opposite. But I noticed such a thing, that when I was now in nature in one place, in one of the places, there time flowed completely differently. So differently that just... That day, only one day, I was there for several days, but one day, it seemed somehow eternal, endless. That is, in one day I could sleep several times, wake up, do some things. And all of this lasted one day, but it was very long, as if it already lasted for a whole week. And what did I see? That if I were in nature, if I compare, if I were in nature but in another place, somewhere at my dacha, then it would seem the same nature, you sit the same way on a bench, but time would fly by very quickly. What is this? What is it connected with? I began again to remember, I am now comparing everything with what happened to me in childhood, and I recall how I described it earlier, that this was, if I am not mistaken, 2010 or the beginning of 2011, when I said, asserted, wrote down in my notes, in my book, that I could somehow go into one psychological state, let us call it that, that if I sit in line for 5 hours, waiting somewhere for my turn with the doctor, then these five hours pass just as if in a minute. Or maybe the opposite, you need to wait half an hour in line to see a doctor, but if I am in some other psychological state, then this half hour can seem to me like an eternity, as if I have been sitting for ten hours, and I simply cannot sit any longer, I am really tired. And I also noticed this physically, when I walked a lot. I could walk, figuratively speaking, six kilometers, but in one state these six kilometers I would walk as if in a moment psychologically, that is, so much so that it was as if I did not even notice, I was already there. But sometimes it was the opposite, as if you are walking and endlessly walking, and still cannot reach.
