As my interest in writing has increased over the last few years, my interest in photography has also grown. I find a similar objective in both pursuits--to capture the moment. Whether it's through words or images, I love the challenge of zeroing in on the specifics of an instant in time and looking for the beauty, pain, hope, and sadness that can be found therein.
About a month ago, we enjoyed a lovely Sunday afternoon with family celebrating my niece's birthday. As we drove home that evening, I thought with great satisfaction of how pleasant the day had been. I was struck with the strong desire to hit "pause" and relish the day as long as I could. For a few fleeting minutes, "just now was my only ambition in life." (Haven't we all felt that way at one time or another?)
This poem was my best attempt to capture the essence of the day...
