  • Beauty consists of its own passing, just as we reach for it. It’s the ephemeral configuration of things in the moment, when you see both their beauty and their death.
    ...Does this mean that this is how we must live our lives? Constantly poised between beauty and death, between movement and its disappearance?
    Maybe that’s what being alive is all about: so we can track down those moments that are dying.
