AND HERE WE ARE....SAME AS IT EVER WAS

Dinner with friends. Packed restaurant. Great atmosphere. If you closed your eyes you could easily have been in a movie about friends at a festive dinner … in a cool city restaurant. But more than that, for a second, images came rushing at me. Pictures I have seen or I might even have of my parents with friends celebrating at a crowded table all grouped together smiling. Small square snapshots white bordered testament to a time both lived and now passed.

There has always been something fascinating about the photos. Everyone was there. Present and in the moment. No idea most likely that it would be one of many going quickly to reveal another and on and on. Pictures and memories as proof of time passing

And so it was here. One of many memories of times with friends. Here. Going. Gone. Vanished. Fragments woven together. What we call a life. Memories already lived. How many more to come? Not much thought given to that.. Its all part of what is. And we enjoy. Take pictures everyone smiling. Happy.. Commenting on time and place. Circling the moment. The Now. Fleeting. Steady. Running ahead of us. And so here we are…. same as it ever was.
