The Needle in a Haystack Predicament
"It's like looking for a needle in a haystack." — How many times has this phrase been used to describe something that is difficult to locate, especially when it is something valuable or desirable, but seemingly impossible to find? Sometimes it points out the complexity of a situation. Humorous approaches suggest to lean on the haystack as to find the needle. Some propose the just buy the whole haystack.
So how do you find a needle in a haystack?
With a magnet.
The first recorded instance of the "needle in a haystack" idea is said to be from 1532, by St. Thomas More who wrote: "to seek out one line in his books would be to go looking for a needle in a meadow."
Finding a needle in a meadow would indeed be a bit more challenging than to find it in a haystack.
To those who have been living according to script, in implicit support of preset defaults, what we consider essential is likely to not look like anything.

Which story, which book?
Glancing across depictions
of Egyptian gods, did you ever wonder why all of them carry the ankh in their hand?
It is what they all have in common, it is what makes them gods!
But, what is god?
Depictions of Egyptian gods are a monument to something unfathomably essential.
Essential to you, and your life!
The ankh is the key that separates a human creature from a god, and it is available, to anyone who dares hold it.
Gods walk with ankh.
Just what exactly is that?

There is much beauty to behold — all around us. The depicted classics are well known to most. To visit them, or fly by, and snap a couple of share-worthy shots requires neither exceptional powers of observation nor any spirit of adventure. Anyone can do it.
Meanwhile, the giants cemetery and other world-forgotten vestiges remain unperturbed by mass shows.
Every realm has its silent treasures.
Far from perfect snapshots, they remain pristine. Thus guarded by that bona fide silence, their dignity, likewise, lives on.
Coastal Montenegro
Between the Bay of Kotor & Open Waters
The seat of Maginario is Homdor, in the coastal region of Montenegro, Europe.
The X is a rough location estimate within a map from 1701 by La Serenìssima also known as the Most Serene Republic of Venice, which was a sovereign state and a maritime republic for 1100 years (697-1797).
TIME is EMIT backward
emit
“To send forth as a stream or emanation; To give off, throw out (‘effluvia’, light, heat, gases, flames, sparks, etc.)” (OED)
With or without wordplay,
nothing about time is
mechanistically uniform.
