In the tradition of great masters Leonard Nimoy's last thought [Twitter - the vessel of modern day Haiku] put words to my world view quite nicely. “A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory…”
As part of my day job I oversee a book club for the managers of my company. My most recent find that I'm inflicting on my cohorts is a Ted Talk by Simon Sinek called "Start With Why". I'm sure the talk has many great insights that can be applied to my geek-gig, but I'm finding it more impactful in thinking about how I message the photo side of my life.

| Sehnsucht |
Through my camera’s lens I’m constantly striving to collect reflections of those perfect moments, that fleeting sense of stillness when all the to-do lists and should-dos fall away and all there is is the holding of a breath and a silent moment of awe.
Sehnsucht ... a German word meaning the longing to be somewhere one's never been, homesick for a place one's never seen, yearning towards something unknown and unrealized.
Google is awesome!
