Life...
What is life? its a question im sure everyone of us ponders at some point or another as we go from day to day... one that is on the mind of every man, woman and child throughout time and probably will continue to do so...

Its also a question I have been pondering a lot recently, I dont know whether its stress, insomnia, facing changes in the future... whatever the reason I find my self whittling away the early hours of the day watching the sun rise and contemplating it all.

What is life? do I have an answer out of all this, out of my incescent ponderings? well yes and no... I have many answers, some which make sense, some which dont, some that speak, others that creep up on you silently... I think you get the idea.

The irony in trying to find the meaning of life is it mimics life so well without ever reaching an answer.. its awkward, clumsy, painful to contemplate somtimes... complicated, ever changing to meet a new situation or challenge...

Then, a few days ago, a friend showed me somthing, he showed me a photoalbum, holiday snaps, nothing more nothing less... yet as I looked through them an epiphany struck.

Make of it what you will but its as close to a real answer I have. Life, to me, is a series of events, of moments captured in your mind, like photographs in an album, or spread out on a table... its these moments that define both our past and present and determine where our future will lead... out memories govern our life, these pictures dictate who we were and guide us into who we become. In essence life... its your own personal exhibition, a gallery of portraits dedicated to you, defining the moments of your life that form who you are...

As I said earlier make of that answer what you will but to me, at the moment, I feel its a pretty good answer and it makes sense in my mind. On an art related note it is this exact pondering that lead to the initial idea that became my latest submission, paws crossed it is up by the time you read this.

Until next time my friends

Peace ^^
