Life is like that, a fleeting series of images and other sensations: sounds, smells, tastes, and feelings--both physical and emotional.
Some are beautiful, others painful. Most are quite mundane and ordinary in most ways, but all are quite extraordinary when one comes to know more about the biological and electro-chemical processes involved in our sensations and cognitive processing of the vast amount of information that comes into our brains moment by moment.
It is truly astounding.
Stevenson expressed it simply yet eloquently.
Thanks for sharing.
