but no time to shape

Mostly just doodling on the Deluge. Finding little pockets of atmosphere and watering them to see if they’ll grow.
I decided to read Dune again. There is a scene I really like where Paul awakens to a higher level of understanding. It's quite quick. It frightens him but he can’t stop it, and in that moment he loses his childhood; it slips away from him and is replaced by what he calls his “terrible purpose.”
I took the title of the song from the following excerpt:
“He felt the heat and cold of uncounted probabilities.
He knew names and places, experienced emotions without number, reviewed data of innumerable unexplored crannies. There was time to probe and test and taste, but no time to shape.”
