A moment in space and time

One of the greatest things about humanity is the capability to capture moments of time. Life, some say, are the moments we live, we remember. They can last and they can exist in just a fracture of time. Now the picture I’ve taken is not of something extra important, precious or worthy but it is of something that existed only a few moments and it just makes you think about it.

What if I hadn’t taken this photo? I would have remembered something about it, may be the moment of creation, or the moment of extinction, destruction – the moment I thought “I cant keep it” or may be just the feeling “I could have made it better”. Well why can’t I make it better? I can build it every day, five times a day, every five minutes… But will it be exactly the same as before?

So this is just a glimpse of the idea that we live now and we feel now and can live and feel tomorrow as well but it will be something different. For you know that is something that has been said before as well – you could never step into the same river twice. And it’s quite true.

So what I did is that I captured a piece of time, a piece of me playing with stones today. I wonder what I would have done yesterday if I was playing with those stones. So enjoy your life and your personal fractures of time, take a picture of the things you love and don’t do it necessarily with a camera, do it in your mind. Look at your cat and feel the moment for it will not last forever. But that again is what makes it so precious.
