PHOTOGRAPHS
We live life in moments. I think that's why photographs mean so much to us, they have the power to silently capture single moments that would otherwise be impossible to set apart. Because while we live life in moments, each moment move into another, the way each word I write connects immediately to the next. Individually, there is some meaning; it all comes alive only when you read in full. A missing word, like a missing moment, will represent the whole incomplete. At the same time, it is impossible for us, the value or worth of these moments is to know what each has in store for us, and to what other event it will connect.
Fate is what finds these moments and brings them together. As the writer, I am Fate to the words on this page--only I know where they tend, and what each word's role is in the final story. Without me they mean nothing, just a series of scratches and unclear group together in paragraph form.
Fate, or God, or Karma, or the Force, or whatever it is one might believe it to be: it pulls us together, makes us whole. It may take a day or a year or ten or twenty before we realize what is really going on, but I think every action we do translates into something greater further down the line. And that's why it's important for every moment to stand out for us. We ought to treat every instant, every event in which we find ourselves complicated, the way we would do a photograph--we should put our best foot forward in it, because it will be recorded, and it will come back to haunt us.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Inside My Head--where nothing is as it seems and all the words are pretty.
