Fossils (2010)

• Fossils The growth in life Funny how things are; years go by, life goes on and still glimmers from the past shine through and surround you with memory and of life and changes. Sometimes you make an impact on people and other times it's they who make the impression. Often you are just another moment in time passing other moments in time with just a breath and a double take to remember the moment. Every now and then there are these moments where time and space collide and someone that has touched your past, good and bad, comes out of nowhere to remind you where you came from and how you made it to the path in time you're on now. You always let friends and acquaintances pass by in life. Sometimes your grasp of each other is strong enough to remain in existence together for a lifetime or many years of experience and enlightenment and other times the grasp leaves only a memory of people and time; burned into memory forever. Life keeps moving on and memory of people stay strong- a thought and perspective; someone who changed you. There are the glimmers of time, the ones who moved on and then after time has passed and life has changed they reappear, telling new life stories and having new life experiences; struggles and triumphs. Many of the lives that pass are so strong, wild, and passionate that to exist together was destruction to the other's growth; odd how the universes collide. Spheres so pumped with adrenaline and power and energy; survival. It is survival that makes these moments and memories strong. Surviving is the strength inside that prevails despite the beings alongside you. Sometimes survival makes you change your time and you move on to a new space; despite the common bonds and intimate revealing of heart and life. Those moments when your clock stops for just a second, so fast you can't even tell time is stopping for you to truly see something, leaves permanent picture, an impression on your heart and mind. Those moments were made to stay in stone; in heart. Those moments were what changed views, perspectives, and whole entire life paths. Every now and then these lives grow and change and survive and then they bump into each other and somehow the connection is made, the circle has come around and you get to tap into that pure strength that may have once felt a weakness, from the past, and you get to see yourself in that moment again; a moment that may have change something in time forever. -By Ali Scontrino
