Once The World Stops for Us : Capturing Different Hues of Life 📸
They say that the world never stops revolving for anyone. We need to keep going no matter how hard life gets. But they're wrong. The world does stop for us; it stops to let us breathe; it's just that we are the ones who ignore its calls for an embrace.
Waves of Calmness
Going to the beach not to flap on its waters but to sit, listen, and watch every detail of it is one thing I love doing with my friends. When life gets a bit heavy for all of us, we head to a nearby beach a short distance from our university. But, of course, we only do this whenever we have no classes. We pay 20 pesos for the entrance fee. We then either sit or lie on the sand, not minding the grains of the sand on our clothes and hair.
The moment we stop, we start noticing the stillness of life. We start noticing the marks that the waves leave on the sand.
We start hearing the sound of the waters splashing a little bit louder than the honking of the vehicles. We start to appreciate how shadows are cast on things.
We start appreciating simple little things, such as the simple act of embedding footprints on the sand.
Like the tiny grains of sand and the pebbles, the wonders of life become noticeable once we start looking closer and moving slowly.
Sky Canvas
When life gets a bit busier and exhausting, the world paints the sky and tells us to stop for a moment and look up.
Filling it with different hues fills our hearts with different emotions. Emotions of relief, emotions of love, emotions of comfort from a silent companion.
Like a painting of an artist who does not speak in words but rather with brushes and paints, it tells a message like verses out of poetry, and once again it tells us that the world does halt for us any moment we need it to.
At Dusk
The darkness of the night is something we fear at times. The loneliness along its silence is something we sometimes don't want to hear. But little did we know that it is the world's lullaby for our tired and lonely souls.
It reminds me of these photographs I took after a long day of gathering films for a school project. It started to look darker, and I never expected to be able to capture anything worthy.
Capturing the bay at dusk with my friends' backs in the foreground screamed "HOME" in the middle of this unfamiliar place. An image that speaks to my love for observing and treasuring the moments of life filled with their presence.
A different hue of life worth capturing.The world does stop for us. It really does. To notice it, we have to be still as well. Like a puddle of water that gets disturbed when you move in it, life does too.
The world never did become crueler towards anyone; it has always been kind, gentle, and considerate. We sometimes mistake our own hatred for the world's when it has never been theirs.
