Cory Richards Instagram – I’ve been wanting to share this for a minute.
I think of all the gifts life offers, time is absolutely the most valuable. It’s weird that we use so much of it trying to get or change things that might give us more of it…which of course is a zero-sum game. Nothing is certain and time isn’t for sale. Minutes become hours become days and weeks and months and years and finally, a whole life.
Life happens so briefly and somehow we get lost in it and we lose sight of the forest through the trees. Somehow, as we pour over the past or plan for the future, we forget that all of life is literally happening right now. And we miss it. We don’t recognize the horizon we were driving towards because our gaze is still fixed outward.
I don’t really know how to tell that story effectively. I don’t know what appreciating a moment really looks like. One second falls away, replaced by another. Like sand in our hands, the tighter we squeeze, the more quickly it falls away.
All I know is that it’s special…because so much had to happen exactly as it has to get to now. And here we are.
Written and co-directed with the incredible @giovannim with so much appreciation for @vacheronconstantin for all the time they’ve given me as my life has changed while time has changed me. Thank you. | Posted on 08/Jul/2024 23:56:36
