What exactly is a moment in time? If you really think about it, it’s quite an interesting question. Our entire lives are made up of billions of moments. Last fall I wrote a post about Chris Milk’s 42 second film entitled Last Day Dream.” In the same style of visual potency, Will Hoffman created this 4 minute film below called 16: Moments which was inspired by the book, Sum by David Eagleman.

In this film, you see a powerful illustration of the moments that make up our lives. I am a very visually stimulated person and I found this to be fabulous. The universe is such a big place, yet at times, like when watching this film, it really seems like a small world. We all experience many of the same things, and we grow and evolve together.

As this person said on their blog “Those moments are why I keep living. Because the move from one moment to the next is interesting and terrible and wonderful and sublime all at the same time.” This film will remind you that life’s fleeting moments are in fact what life is all about. Instead of always chasing tomorrow, we should appreciate today. This is visual sequencing at its finest.

By night, she lives and breathes by writing. After publishing a small cookbook last year, she is now working on her new masterpiece, scheduled for publishing next year. “I could write all night long and not get tired of it. I think that is when you know you’ve tapped into a true passion. Whatever that thing may be, if you could do it all day or night long, lose track of time, ‘wake up’ ten hours later, and still thirst for more, that is a passion, and I feel like I’ve found that in my writing.” Diana also spends many hours each week assisting the homeless men and women in Atlanta.

Surprisingly moving

Reminds of the scene from The Fifth Element where she is absorbing the earth’s dramatic history at high speed. Reflects the same human capacity for greatness, lowness and survival.

I find myself too often having forgotten why I breathe. I have love in my life; family and friends, an adorable wife. Someone embraced me the other day and said “You’re a “Love Bear”. Then out of no where, I’m in a store speaking to the woman behind a counter and she asks if she can come around the counter and hug me. I say yes, we embrace and she says, “I feel your love, I really needed that today”. Don’t we all? Let’s spread the love and not forget how much our contribution means to every person with whom we come in contact. I love you………….Steve
