Klexos : The Art of Dwelling on the Past
“Your life is written in indelible ink. There’s no going back to erase the past, tweak your mistakes, or fill in missed opportunities. When the moment’s over, your fate is sealed. But if you look closer, you notice the ink never really dries on any of our experiences. They can change their meaning the longer you look at them…
Maybe we should think of memory itself as an art form, in which the real work begins as soon as the paint hits the canvas. And remember that a work of art is never finished, only abandoned. ” (John Koenig)

Memories
Delicately balanced
Fleeting moments
Painted with emotions
Waiting to unlock
Key to personal truth
Malleable in time

“Delicately balanced” – so true! Nicely done, Olga. This speaks to me.

This poem is haunting. Malleable in time…a sign of hope perhaps. The painting imagery you carry over from the quote/link is beautiful. Very nice!

Thank-you. Definitely a sign of hope. 🙂 One of my obscure sorrows is that I always thought the past was set in stone, but the full explanation of the word ‘klexos’ in the video shows that time’s influence is malleable.

Thanks, Kerfe. I added the purplish tinge to the image to highlight the wave flow and hint at changing the color of memories. 🙂
