Matt, another very well realized investigation into the nature of things. It got me thinking about a quote I read some time ago in a Haruk Murakami novel, don't remember shcih one but here's the quote: “The pure present is an ungraspable advance of the past devouring the future. In truth, all sensation is already memory.”
― Henri Bergson, Matter and Memory
this quote struck me like a koan, still does. The fact is we can’t stop time and live in a hyper-realized moment of truth and beauty. The flow of time is outside our control and moments of anything must always be fleeting. In this incomprehensible, ongoing rush of reality we rely on the artist to step outside the flow and through their work give us a glimpse of this nature of reality that we can hold on to. Keep creating both for yourself and others because the truths you uncover fill us and carry us forward and we are all fortunate for the experience.
