August – Pondering Time.
Recently, I have been looking back at old photographs...
During August we are offered a time to step back from the frenetic activity of the rest of the year, (that is unless you are part of the wonderful work force who serve the hospitality industry, directly or indirectly), and take leave. Thinking about this, I am aware of how quickly the year is passing.
Recently, I have been looking back at old photographs. Each is a moment of time captured and held for me to look at, which transports me to that place, that person and that moment.
Time is a concept so fundamental, so omnipresent, and yet so elusive that it has captured the fascination of philosophers, scientists, poets, and dreamers for millennia. It is the silent current that carries us from birth to death, the invisible architect shaping the contours of our lives, the mysterious dimension in which change becomes possible.
It is referred to as one of the constants in life with its ruthless march of seconds, hours and days stretching into unchangeable regularity; the sun rises and sets; seasons change; we live and we die.
