Rapid Images

Once in a while, you stumble across something magnificent - a beautiful sight, a thought, an idea mostly and then, because in life, you can't do things in slow motion, you move on. And there is no rewind button either. But again, because the world is made of quirks, oddities and coincidences, you bump into something that reminds you vaguely of that elusive magnificent find. You are left with nostalgia for something you never had the time or opportunity to unravel. Pity. Reality. Does it matter?

Time passes so fast and thoughts even more rapidly before your eyes and inside your mind that all you are left with are vague images that you cannot be bothered to focus on. That is not a bad thing. Would you rather screen the travesty that your life is on the big screen or let it pass by in blurred pictures in an album that has mold inside the plastic casings, unsafely thrown away in some garbage dump. The latter, for better or worse, sounds like a better deal. Unless you find a time machine that can let you go back with a magnifying lens to find that one tiny little detail that can change your life for the best.

Okay, just forget what I said. I want a ride on a Batmobile. A time machine and changing my life can wait.
