memories lost

These images depict memories that have been obscured to the point of fading entirely.  What remains is a sense of searching, hoping, wishing, and eventually accepting that something I have experienced will never again be remembered.  The only silver lining I have found in this is that my mind can create and retain new memories, which I can hold onto as tightly as I can hold water in my hands.  The importance of truly living in the moment cannot be overstated.
