timdadeelee | April 30, 2010

The hands of the Great Grandfather Clock on the wall, behind my chair tick away the passage of time. And as the future closes in and the past, falls far behind…. The beginning and the end come face to face, here in my present and time stands still for a single moment, while I rock [...]
