a forest, a year, 40 seconds....

a passage in Meditations from the Mat, by Rolf Gates:

"The forest reminds us that the seasons are both temporary and eternal. In the midst of an urban winter though, I have no such perspective. I am certain that winter will never end. Disconnected from nature, I miss the subtle messages, the daily variations in earth and sky that signal the slow turning of the seasons. I live in my head, noticing little and I forget that nature has an intelligence that brings balance and harmony to the mind, heart and soul."

Impressive. I don't think I could hold the camera still that long, and the batteries would die, and I'd get really hungry....

Brad, you crack me up :)! I never even thought like that and now I'm imagining sitting in the same place with a camera for a whole year.....ha...sometimes the hobby of photography requires sacrifice and patience!
