Yearning...

I have been taking alot of time away from life...
I feel extremely, emotionally tired.
Slept through the days, mostly.
My body and mind really needed This.

I was browsing some older photographs my late father took today. And the special thing about a photograph, is the connection you make with it. This, in my hand... was almost like a door to my father's dreams... and in touching it, seeing it, I felt with my heart why is it that he wanted to be a photographer. I closed my eyes and immersed myself into the photo, I could almost feel the stillness of the air in that picture, and the sunlight dancing across their faces... I could almost hear the gentle laughter they exchanged... I could almost, almost hear the stories I missed out on...







These photographs were all stories... and they yearn for someone to listen...to the things they don't say.
I was amazed with the discoveries I made today... He left a part of him here... and all the while I didn't see... and as I tracked myself back to reality... a tear trickled down my cheek... yes, I miss him.

I leave you with a song- The story... the lyrics is so meaningful to me...

Create stories. That matters most to you. Scrap to your heart's desires...
