| Infinitely finite London, ON March 2021 This photo originally shared on Instagram |
Moments like this offer up something of a choice. Either find some way to remember them. Or miss the opportunity.
So I’m sharing this hastily captured smartphone pic not because it’s kind of a profound moment (it isn’t) or even unique (nope). It’s a lousy photo of a sunset, taken with the so-called wrong camera, because that’s what I had in my pocket at the time.
No, I share it because it occurred to me as I shot it that it’s a finite experience. And because each of us only gets a limited number of sunsets - and sunrises, and hugs, and games of catch with puppies, and... - it’s up to us to not squander any more of them than we already have.
Lousy photos beget important, ephemeral moments. There’s a lesson in there somewhere, but I’ll be over here waiting for that next whatever-it-is experience.
Because they all eventually run out.
