On Making Memories
One Alien at a Time.
Whether it was the family road trips to the nearest UFO sightings or the rivalry scrabble games with your siblings, cousins, and other nameless faces whose participation you willingly accepted at the time, the memories of the details you hardly noticed, and the morals that illuminate themselves only in hindsight, inevitably shape the people we are constantly becoming. And every once in a while, in a moment of clarity as rare and fleeting as an eclipse or an urban shooting star, we are able to acknowledge the magnitude of what's happening around us. In those few seconds, we balance the weight of glimpsing life's secrets with the vowels we're pretending to select with our eyes (nearly) closed. Enjoy!
