“All photographs are memento mori.

To take a photograph is to participate in another person’s or thing’s morality, vulnerability, mutability. Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs testify to time’s relentless melt…

memo 4

it

Ma framanta o intrebare.

Mi se intampla sa constat ca ma simt umilitor de inutila in raport cu cineva; Cineva pe care obisnuiesc inca sa-l simt prieten drag; si ma intreb, cum se poate sa-mi lipseasca atat de mult prezenta cuiva in raport cu care relationez cu o naivitate coplesitoare. Cam cat ma poate duce exercitiul asta, perfect rational, de autoflagelare ?! ;)

… acum gasesc si un soi de explicatie faptului ca imi tot suna in minte, ca un contrapunct de care nu ma pot desprinde, mesajul unui text de cantec … and if I’m killed by the questions like a cancer, then I’ll be buried by the silence of the answers …  Kafka frate! :)

Dear Friend,

Step away from things

for a short time

and you’ll afford

a clearer view of yourself,

those around you

and the way things are.

Dear Friend,

That, which requires more thought and effort than usual, is likely the very thing that You should be doing. Risk is unavoidable. You may recognize in others the things You most like about Yourself … and vice versa.

If You should want a little more from that certain someone, than You’ve been getting lately, this is the perfect time to make your desires known. And, after what may seem an unusually long dry spell, You should be able to score a victory that gets You going once more. Even if You are afraid of relinquishing control, it may be entirely worth it.
