Thumbing through photographs I have
taken over the years, portraits of little
girls and boys, poses of old women and
men, images of black, brown, red, yellow
and white, people from far away places,
some from nearby. People captured pas-
sing through in the prime of their lives.
Ah, the lovely diversity of humanity. I was
lucky to see them in my life, fortunate to
have revealed them in their place and time.
Most of these images were captured spon-
taneously years ago. And now I hold them,
the young then have grown old, and the old
have gone the way of the old, in passing
down that road we are all destined to go.
But for now, I hold these treasured lives once
lived, now held in my hands. We have all come
such a long, long way to get here to this place.
I take my remainig precious time in remembering.
