lets talk about time
unseen, sneaky, and relentless
it passes without our focus
my beautiful wife and i have been together for 13 years
and it seems like yesterday we had our first date
and now here we are
on frazer island.
my 7th time
and my son is 8
the age I was when i first came here.
the maheno shipwreck was wrecked when i was 8, 12, 15, 18, 22, 30 and 42.
its still wrecked and sunk into the sand.
was in fact in a similar state for the last 30 years.
however now there is a sign warning
dont come within 3m.
time is a funny thing.
the more things change
the less you remember how they were back when.
I was in egypt when i was 7
rode a camel
sat in the kings chamber in the great pyramid
with my dad who had just climbed to the top.
now im sure a sign says
dont come within 3m.
life and history reduced to instructions about distance and time.
and I always think about the inscription above the cemetery
where my wife's grandparents are buried
in Centure.
a little town in Slovenia.
"what you are we once were
what we are you will be"
so I guess the moral of the story is go out
there
and live your fucking life!
