Just passing through…

We fade in, and eventually we fade out.

Our existence was unknown prior to our fading in. After fading out, and with the passage of time, when those who knew you when you existed are also gone, we will just be the name of a person who once lived. And if we're lucky, maybe a story will go along with that name for a little while.

Or maybe we exist in a constant loop of sorts on a different ethereal plane, but we don't have the wherewithal to comprehend that existence, so we just think we know how it goes and don't realize we're looping.

Believe what you wish; this is merely a musing of my mind. I just took this photo and it got me thinking, is all. I know, hard to believe I was contemplating. I wonder — am I still on the “fade in,” or am I on the “fade out”? Hmm. Well, either way, we fade.

Be well and be kind.
