Temporary

Location: In between two hills near downtown Erin.

Description: Long grass on two hills, with a runoff stream between them, dampening the grass and forming puddles.

Story: Oxygen is inhaled, taken into the blood stream, and transported to the cells that need it. An exchange occurs, carbon dioxide released, and the oxygen integrated. Food is also brought to the cells where it is consumed and waste expelled. The cycle continues each day, changing one thing into another, this for that.

Slowly, our bodies change. Atoms, molecules, whole amino acids that weren't ours become us. Our very state is temporary, and will eventually cease to be. Isn't it remarkable though, that between the past and the future, atoms from all around us came to form this being?

Who are we then? How do we define ourselves as a person? The answer is dynamic with a common core, a slow progression from what we were to what we will become. Each person is not a static personality, but a journey, a connection of instances. Who were are today is temporary, but the flow of our being through time, that is much more. Savour the change.
