James -- I loved the tension and beauty in this essay. The devastating effects of war, the grandeur of ancient monuments and the reminder that even the most monumental events, people, and power can be forgotten as nature takes back over. It's a profound lesson in perspective. Knowing that an entire mountain summit was destroyed in minutes completely changed how I viewed that second picture. Thank you for sharing this -- ironically this read like a timeless piece to me.
Thank you so much for this, especially that last photo & story of the couple & all the wise words & quotes that followed. I needed to read this today. Thank you! 💕
I think you just wrote another famous quote "So put off until tomorrow the things you never wanted to do anyway, and do today, now, the thing you have always wanted to do but were too afraid to begin — the thing that frightens you precisely because some part of you knows it matters.' This was a really great article as is all your work. Thank you.
A blessing on your head, my friend. So much to think about here. As I move through my twilight years after seeing so much in seventy years, good and bad, this is such a heartening perspective. Time is infinite, our lives are brief but nonetheless miraculous points of light in the vast mystery of creation.
This whole piece is a fascinating tribute to time. The photos are riveting. You did a spectacular job of choosing the photos and connecting them to time. Just lovely!
Incredibly profound and thought provoking. Thank you 😊
Thank you, forwarding it to my son who loves photography and is also excellent at capturing moments and memories.
Ad always, you provide special things to view and think about.
And now I will revisit special old photographs and compare them to today.
Thank you!
Thank you so much!
James,the number of likes I had is very worrisome. I like your posts but for sure my comment does not need as many likes.
I do not wish to leave your post as it is interesting but my response did not merit as many likes.
Please send me a private email.
With thanks
This is the best and most thought=provoking thing I've seen today. Sharing with my entire family!
