A sketch book freezes time. It is an instantaneous form of meditation focusing us on the worth of every passing moment.
The passing moment is all we can be sure of; it is only common sense to extract its utmost value from it.
Has it ever struck you ... that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quickly you hardly catch it going? It’s really all memory ... except for each passing moment.
Florence Farr once said to me, If we could say to ourselves, with sincerity, 'this passing moment is as good as any I shall ever know,' we could die upon the instant and be united with God.
