Living in the moment isn’t easy.

Often I’ve to sit through several moments when not much happens and

wait, camera in hand, to capture just one.

A dew drop falling off a banana leaf,

A butterfly landing on a spider lily,

A train passing by, visible only through the trees.

The dusk waltzing through my glasses – the edge of its frame glistening.

Carpe Punctum! But how??

How do I seize these moments (the ones I didn’t capture).

Ok listen. So today as I walked to work in the dark,

I looked up and saw the most gorgeous moon.

I wanted to capture it for you.

A picture? A call? Maybe I’ll just say hi, I’m thinking of you.

Just then I felt a drop of rain. And then another.

I stood a while, drenched in a moment I couldn’t capture.
