“A few times in my life I’ve had moments of absolute clarity, when for a few brief seconds the silence drowns out the noise and I can feel rather than think, and things seem so sharp and the world seems so fresh. I can never make these moments last. I cling to them, but like everything, they fade. I have lived my life on these moments. They pull me back to the present, and I realize that everything is exactly the way it was meant to be.”

George Falconer, “A Single Man,” dir. Tom Ford, 2009.

ckck: Whenever I’m feeling uninspired I like to make movie posters to get my creative juices going again. It always works. View larger. (Trailer) So I saw this film today. Twice. I could have sworn I’d seen it before, but if I had I certainly don’t remember it being as gorgeous and as soul-destroying an experience as it was today. Anyway, I wanted to post a visual reminder of it, and stumbled across this rather stunning work by ck/ck, which I thought worked quite well as a bookmark of memory.

“It does not happen frequently that something very great is condensed into a thing that can just be held entirely in one hand, in one’s own, impotent hand. Just as when one finds a tiny bird that is thirsty. You take if away from the edge of death, and the little heartbeats increase gradually in the warm, trembling hand like the wave at the edge of a giant ocean for which you are the shore. And you suddenly realize, while holding this little recovering animal, that life is recovering from death. And you hold it up. Generations of birds, and all of the forests over which they pass, and all of the skies into which they will rise. And is any of this easy? No: you are very strong to carry the heaviest burden in such an hour.”
