Is There Value In Capturing The Moment?   Leave a comment

“Can We Talk?” Image by kenne

Many of my blog  entries  are presented with the title led of “Capturing the Moment — ****.” My camera has allowed me to freeze in time a moment of existence — a moment in time. Yet, for most of us time is moving so fast that it’s not easy to enjoy the moment. The real value in capturing the moment comes only when additional time has passed. For me, even though I may be pleased with the moment, the sense of pleasure doesn’t compare to that experienced seeing it again months later when the magnitude of a moment sets in and I realize that my life is what I make/made of it. Only then does the captured moment become an existential moment. It’s not always easy to accept the true beauty of life in the moment.

I have learned that many people have the same experience, which generates the question, “How can you live in the moment when the moment changes every second?” Scott Thrift has answered this question by using technology to develop an annual clock that allows us to slow down moments so they can become the present. Only then can we begin to uncover the missing pieces — to actualize. “As I actualize, I uncover.” — Martin Buber
