I was told this week that “tears are memories on the move”. I thought that was a lovely way to describe our tears. People I love are hurting now. I thought this concept could offer some solace…moving memories. The idea of sorrow moving through us by our tears—a biological, physiological and emotional response gives our tears the weight they deserve.
I shot these images and realized that I was zeroing in on the beauty of the temporal quality of a droplet. A droplet, like a tear is living but won’t be forever. They are entirely necessary in the here and now when they flow…memories on the move. Memories on the move.
This is lovely Lisa and very sensitively interpreted.
What you prompted in me as I viewed the photographs and text, was the work of Laurie Anderson, one of my favourite artists.
You may like to listen to “Heart of a Dog”. Within this piece there are many provocative lines which make for some really great reflections.
Memories on the move for sure.B
Wow. I’m will be ordering “Heart of a Dog” on video. I watched the official trailer. Beautiful. Thank you. I really appreciate you putting it on my radar.
Beautiful… and such a lovely thought.
Thank you for reading. I appreciate it very much.
