This is a hard post to write. Im not sure where my thoughts are at today. On many things. I hope writing this out will help me a bit.
As well as my main job, I do a little photography. Mainly sports photography, although I prefer landscape. Anyway, I was photographing a big rally motorsport event yesterday. I have being doing it for around 4 years. Its also a chance to catch up with some good friends, who I usually only see a few times a year at these events.
I have long wondered how I may better use my talent for photography.
What would we do if we knew we had only about 30 seconds left of our life on this earth? Jimmy drove around the corner towards us, the camera was raised, photo was composed and I took the shot, all without thinking. I have done it so often, it becomes automatic. He passed me, and this whole scene was over in less than 3 seconds. A few corners later, Jimmy has had a massive crash, and has died at the scene.
I have witnessed a death before at a rally event, which was mind-numbing. It was a long drive home yesterday in which to think. My thoughts are today, I dont know where... I feel cold, lifeless, lethargic. I have not gone to church, found it difficult to pray.
We are all perched on the edge of eternity. This 30 seconds could be our last. Are we ready for eternity?
