Crisis – an instant of change – unstable, unspeakable, inexplicable, nervous, fearful, or maybe hopeful. It prompts one to action: to destroy or create, to discover or disguise, to advance or retreat – to just not stay still.
Time is quickly and quietly eroding. What is often elegant on the surface is really a facade. That which is present will someday be absent. A sense of melancholy invokes what it means to be grateful for a moment, to preserve the moment – if only for a time.
