Hindsight requires foresight

Photos are not treasured in the moment

They need time to become priceless

a gift to our future selves

So we take a moment seemingly quite insignificant

Snatch it from the ether

Wrap it in chemicals and paper

Tuck it away in a box

Until along comes a version of us one day

Exclaiming

“Oh

I remember this“

I find myself taking many photos of Bodhi lately. The grey around her muzzle, her wise elderly dog eyes. I feel time is growing thin between the future and my time left with her.
