___ .
. . that's where the drama of our lives is played out. The people
and places we encounter are drawn on the pages of our existence
with each passing breath, and the pages turn so quickly they often
create the illusion that they move not at all. I have long been
intrigued by the mystery of it all. When we encounter a new face
or a place in which we feel at home, we never know what the future
will bring. Will that person or place truly be home, or will the
page turn, the image never again to appear?
____
We go through virtually every minute of each day either experiencing
or choosing not to experience people and situations. What is it
that draws our attention to some while we fail to notice others?
And what is the force that tells us in that initial instant that
this one will be eternal?
____
Some of these fleeting moments are just too priceless to go by unnoticed.
It is my hope that the stories here will serve as a sort of bookmark
in the pages of my experience; a means to somewhat slow down the
passage of time just long enough to catch a glimpse. Whether they
carry a message or merely record a moment once enjoyed, I hope they
will in some way inspire you to create your own bookmarks in your
own experience.
