Liebe
Ich habe nie begriffen, wie eine wirkliche, elementare, durch und durch wahre Liebe unerwidert sein kann; da sie doch nichts anderes ist, als der dringende selige Anspruch an einen andern, schön, reich, groß, innig, unvergesslich zu sein; die an ihn heranflutende Verpflichtung, etwas zu werden. Und sagen Sie, wer dürfte das abweisen, wenn es auf ihn sich richtet, ihn erwählt aus den Millionen, ihn findet, der vielleicht in einem Schicksal verborgen oder mitten im Ruhm unnahbar war?
(Rainer Maria Rilke)

My trip to Liverpool last week included a morning spent at Crosby Beach, a 20 minute train ride from the city centre. The attraction of Crosby Beach is Antony Gormley's "Another Place" art installation which includes 100 cast-iron figures of Gormley's own nude body. Some are nearer the edge of the beach and stay mostly out of the water. Others, nearer the water's edge, can be completely submerged at high tide. I went early morning when the beach was for the most part empty, save for a few dog walkers.
To be honest I found it quite difficult to get a compelling composition. I took a lot of pictures that morning and having looked through them all there aren't many keepers. This one however appealed to me. I like the stark nature of it and it makes me think of these figures still there in fifty or a hundred years, long after I've left this earth. They'll still be there, in the exact same positions, looking out at exactly the same view.
Love is the emblem of eternity: it confounds all notion of time: effaces all memory of a beginning, all fear of an end.

mary oliver: "the universe is full of radiant suggestion... over and over in the butterfly we see the idea of transcendence. in the forest we see not the inert but the aspiring. in water that departs forever and forever returns, we experience eternity."
Thanks to David Keochkerian and François Cailleret for taking my approach of photography a few steps further :)

Cosa sono i millenni?
Una manciata di tempo. Polvere, in confronto a un unico sguardo dell’eternità.
Hermann Hesse
Ho pensato di scattare questa foto per rappresentare il contrasto fra la caducità delle cose terrene e la apparente immutabilità del cielo...
Eppure, se potessimo trasformare i milioni di anni in secondi, vedremmo tutte quelle stelle spostarsi fra di loro come sciami di lucciole, alcune esplodere in un rapidissimo lampo, altre semplicemente spegnersi cambiando colore... altre, nuove, accendersi e sostituire le altre. Gradualmente però, tutte le stelle si spegneranno e resterà solo il buio.
Forse ;)
Scatto unico, Passo Cibiana, Cadore.

I loved you once, I loved you twice
I loved you in my previous lives
I know your voice, I know your eyes
You haunt me through my dreams at night
Oh my love, we'll meet again
We always do in the end
Our two souls destined to be
You and I until eternity
We live on and on and on, death is weak and we are strong
On and on and on, time is weak and we are strong
And I see you and you see me
Your eyes are like a raging sea
I know it's you, I know it's true
I gazed into them once in a dream
Oh my love, come take my hand
Like you did in my dreamland
You feel the immortality
It's you and I until eternity
We live on and on and on, death is weak and we are strong
On and on and on, time is weak and we are strong
I loved you once, I loved you twice
I loved…

In one way we think a great deal too much of the atomic bomb. “How are we to live in an atomic age?” I am tempted to reply: “Why, as you would have lived in the sixteenth century when the plague visited London almost every year, or as you would have lived in a Viking age when raiders from Scandinavia might land and cut your throat any night; or indeed, as you are already living in an age of cancer, an age of syphilis, an age of paralysis, an age of air raids, an age of railway accidents, an age of motor accidents.”
In other words, do not let us begin by exaggerating the novelty of our situation. Believe me, dear sir or madam, you and all whom you love were already sentenced to death before the atomic bomb was invented: and quite a high percentage of us were going to die in unpleasant ways. We had, indeed, one very great advantage over our ancestors—anesthetics; but we have that still. It is perfectly ridiculous to go about whimpering and drawing long faces because the scientists have added one more chance of painful and premature death to a world which already bristled with such chances and in which death itself was not a chance at all, but a certainty.
This is the first point to be made: and the first action to be taken is to pull ourselves together. If we are all going to be destroyed by an atomic bomb, let that bomb when it comes find us doing sensible and human things—praying, working, teaching, reading, listening to music, bathing the children, playing tennis, chatting to our friends over a pint and a game of darts—not huddled together like frightened sheep and thinking about bombs. They may break our bodies (a microbe can do that) but they need not dominate our minds.
