A Frozen Moment

"I don't have many people in my photographs, especially the landscapes. To explain this, you see, it takes me a while to prepare everything. Sometimes people are there, but before I am ready they go away, so what can I do, I won't chase them back." Josef Sudek
I read this quote this morning and it seemed a good metaphor for my life. I wondered if it resonates at all with others. The are people who feel (and times I feel) like we need to be the architects of every aspect, every of moment our lives. But really, our core dictates most aspects of our reality and struggling against the bits and pieces we don't like is likely to drag us away from the core of what gives meaning to our existence. Chasing relationships takes a great deal of time. I think many successful people acquire the courage to be lonely and move on.
Not that this makes life any easier.
It was just a thought.
