when i look at old photographs i notice the details: the buildings, the people's facial expressions, the facade, the way someone leans, or the way someone's eyes look into the camera. I feel like I am there. as if i can insert myself in the space and experience that time as an observer. as if looking into the photograph a moment was captured and, by me looking at it, we share the energy of that space. an absorption of electromagnetic fields in "time." quantum leap as some have called it.
I could walk around in old buildings and structures all day. who lived here? who built this? how was it built? what was it used for? why has it gone to ruins? I could ask all these questions but truly none of them would be answered solely through observation. Not even a scholar could know everything. there is just too much information, so much knowledge, only so much our brain could hold. so instead I Observe it all. reality in which we live is beyond our imagination. most of us just don't care to see it.

I start to wonder why we give significance to dates. what is history but a sequence of events and you would not remember the date of time of anything unless of course you wrote down that date and time for purpose of remembering. on the other hand, if you were so immersed in the moment would you even consciously have the need to mark the date of that moment? wouldn't what would be in your memory the scene and events that took place? does the actual date even mean anything in the context of your whole life? is recorded history as read in books only a snapshot of someone's perspective only written after the fact, after the experience occurred? what if we forgot about trying to remember the events of the past and focused on our current state? would our mind be more at peace? what if we just stopped altogether trying to figure it out? would we have peace of mind? what does it matter how much you know, how much information you can recite, how much knowledge you can memorize? what if what was truly important was our total immersion in the present moment? would our heart be at peace? i want you to see through my eyes
