“I love those eyes of yours, my friend, Their sparkling, flashing, fiery wonder; When suddenly those lids ascend, Then lightning rips the sky asunder; You swiftly glance, and there’s an end; There’s greater charm, though, to admire; When lowered are those eyes divine; In moments kissed by passion’s fire; When through the downcast lashes shine: the smoldering embers of desire...”

- from the Tarkovsky movie ‘Stalker’ (1979).

Feelings feel so fleeting. So are those rare moments of clarity in creativity; its essential to grasp them tightly when they strike us. Like that of the blink of an eye, flashes of intense beauty appear in our minds or in front of us. 

A comparison could be made between that of the blink of an eye or a grain of sand. Both seem like endless entities of something that is mundane, yet every now and then they contain something magical. As William Blake put it “To see a world in a grain of sand...”, let these pictures be that grain of sand; full of mystery. An ode to creativity and a flash of beauty.
