#transitoriness

A little photo project I did a few months ago. I took the photos on a local graveyard and transitoriness was the theme I had in my mind. I hope you like it :)

Something that took me ages to figure out is, that things appear to be permanent, when they are bound to crumble and change, shape-shift into a different one when you least expect it.

Don't blink too much, for when you do, you give the serendipity a chance to act, or you fall prey of transitoriness... either way, keep the things you love the most in your pocket, in your heart; you don't know when you'll be forced to start walking until you find a new place to establish your home.

But is not transitoriness — the perishableness of life — something very sad? No! It is the very soul of existence. It imparts value, dignity, interest to life. Transitoriness creates time — and “time is the essence.” Potentially at least, time is the supreme, most useful gift.

Time is related to — yes, identical with — everything creative and active, with every progress toward a higher goal. Without transitoriness, without beginning or end, birth or death, there is no time, either. Timelessness — in the sense of time never ending, never beginning — is a stagnant nothing. It is absolutely uninteresting.”
