why snapshots?

I hadn't really thought about it much, but I told someone last night that every once in a while I do these snapshots as a way to ground myself in the moment... no worries about the past or concerns about the future. Sometimes those things can become oppressively overwhelming and it is good to remind myself that there is much to be thankful about in the here and now.

Live your moment (see quote below) and be happy. So often people waste today, trying to change yesterday, or predict tomorrow. Somewhere along the way, they forget to live. I've spent a good deal of my life, trapped in that mistake.

"Time is just something that we assign. You know, past, present, it's just all arbitrary. Most Native Americans, they don't think of time as linear; in time, out of time, I never have enough time, circular time, the Stevens wheel. All moments are happening all the time."
