Loving the Time-Lapse
I’m not sure how I got started down this particular path, but watching time-lapse videos has become my latest area of interest on YouTube. Here are two of my favorites so far:
Honorable mentions go to Balloons Over Reno and Rotting Apple.
There’s something beautiful and poignant about these videos that’s hard to pin down (okay, beautiful with the exception of the “rotting stuff” category, which seems to have its own whole sub-community on YouTube). It’s more than just looking at things in a different way. It gets me thinking about big picture stuff, like the passage of time, and life, and the approach of death, and where we find Meaning and Purpose along the way.
Maybe these videos remind me that it’s all going faster than I think. That my life is just a drop or two in the stream of history. Whatever it is, they inspire me to make the most of the time that I have by simply loving the people that God has placed in my life. Investing in those relationships in whatever way the day calls for, with an eye toward eternity. What else is there that’s really worth the time?

Amazing! Technology available now, so that we can view some of the magnificent works of the hand of God. My first thought was “Carpe diem!” – Seize the day!

This is awesome! I finally meandered onto your site, Clint, and it’s too bad I took so long! :c)
Here’s to hoping whatever new job I have, and me wanting to “redeem the time” as the Bible says, that I will still have some time to peruse the words and worlds of my friends!!
