i want to be part of it
motivated to pull it together
activated by anticipation
energized by laughter, thoughtful exchanges
eager to augment, hesitant to impact.
happy to be there.

a compulsion to capture
since permanence is impossible
memories trick, moments don’t hang
the records you make are the closest you get
that was real - you were there!
behind the lens, out of frame.

take a walk and it’s dark out
make a plan, it’s tomorrow
take a trip till it’s next week
overthink and you’ve lost it
taking time and it takes you.
take your time.
