About Present Lens



Present Lens -- a play on present tense. To be, here, now.

This is what this blog is dedicated to; capturing the moment, living in the present.

How often do you feel like life is just passing you by? Like the moments roll into one, merging and forming a great mass of yesterday, the past.

How often do you stop and smell the roses, feel the wind on your skin, the gentle rays caress your face and shoulders? How often do you notice the laugh of the small child running happily on the street, the gentle sound of water as it flows along the riverside, as it crashes against the rocks, as it rains down from that beautiful fountain?

How often do we stop to taste the food we eat, enjoy the textures on our tongue, the salt, the sweetness,

the tangy sourness, a musical delight to our senses.

How often do we see those we love, do we see ourselves, do we see the grand architecture on our streets?

We will start now.

Everyman







I saw a great play the other day. Let me tell you about it...
It was called Everyman, and it featured the terrific actor Chiwetel Ejiofor.
After seeing him in the phenomenal "Twelve Years A Slave", I relished the thought of seeing him in the flesh!
He didn't disappoint.

A passionate performance based on the 15th century "morality play" which represents all mankind and the account we must give at the end of our lives, alone.

Transformed by Carol Anne Duffy, the play takes on a poetic edge, with a modern and comedic twist.

Highly recommended!
