… I go to places in nature and purposely leave my camera in my van. I don’t want a digital memory of something that to me is indescribable. I want to capture the moment in my mind as there’s a permanence to it. If I forget the moment, then it wasn’t all that great in the first place. The best images aren’t made of gold that require an occasional polishing, they always shine bright. Most of my life’s most wonderful experiences will go with me. Shining quite bright might add.

To be honest, I don’t quite remember where I was going with all of that last paragraph but it was meaningful… while it lasted. I promise!

Had I known earlier, what life had in store for me, I’d have played this game of life just a little harder. Less fear and apprehension, more risks, more living.
