Riding Shotgun

ramblings from the passenger's seat

Sunday, December 26, 2004

Through the open gate the ghosts come riding in. It could be catching sight of something in the corner of your eye, or perhaps it's a scent on the breeze (they say smell is most closely linked to memory) more often than not though I find it's a song, a sound, a riff or bassline that conjures the past. A hazy image, the impression of a moment. So fragile and tentative; then the present comes rushing in and it to is vulnerable, beautiful, worthwhile. Too much reminscence has you missing the now, yet too little has you losing the then.
