Now is all we have.
Save it in a photograph
or engage the gods?

Joanne, I like that quote! Reminds me of the title of a CD by Tycho: “Past is Prologue”. A phrase to ponder.

Thanks, Charlie. It is a loaded question.
My son once went on a trip to another country and took so many videos and photos that he later realized he’d seen most of the scenery through a camera lens instead of just gazing and enjoying. I guess it’s all about balance. I can’t resist grabbing my camera at every opportunity (though I’ve no talent whatsoever in photography.)
But your amazing gift (artistic, photographic, poetic) proves that we CAN do both. 🙂

How serendipitous! I just finished writing a poem today about this very topic. I’ve come to the place where I’m not ambivalent about it, anymore. I think you have one or the other, not both, in any given situation.

Serendipity again – I’m starting to believe that resonate poets are joined in some Jungian collective unconscious, it happens so often on WP. Makes me smile. 🙂
And I tend to agree with you. Both take concentration, but in different ways. We can do both but not at the same time.
Thanks for being here, Cynthia.
