What a Photograph Takes

what a photograph takes.
it takes away everything...
it takes away everything, but the image it's focused on.
it is a realistic portrait that blurs the reality of life.
recently, i was looking for some elusive piece of photographic history.
along the way i came across images of my sons when they were just
little boys.
the melancholia that pervaded the soul was amazing.
i looked at that captured moment and thought:
why wasn't i in that moment of bliss?
how could i have missed being in that special time?
the photograph takes away the mortgage payments;
the broken car; the screaming neighbor not seen in the photo;
the wars in the world; the monetary worries; the family traumas;
and all the other daily pains of living.
it blocks out the cacophony, the miasma, the magma we struggle through everyday.
the photograph reminds us of the moment.
it reminds us to be here now.

I want you to,
dance like no one is watching,
sing like no one is listening,
talk as if the whole world is listening ,
But most of all ,
I want you to love like you have never been hurt

Life is a state of mind...
it sounds almost scary when i read your words "for all one's life" - does sound rather final doesn't it? man, i better be good - cause i know i'm going to hell for sure.
lovely as usual talking with you, Malgorzata.
