The Standing Now
Though Bob Fergeson lives in the Southern United States and Shawn Nevins
in the East, their creative wanderings share a common theme: the standing now.
"Nunc fluens facit tempus, nunc stans facit aeternitatem."
The passing now makes time, the standing now makes eternity.
~ Boethius
It is the moment we all share, when our self-concern is swept away by the wispy hems of clouds, the bone branches of an ancient evergreen, or the cool, impassive face of an alpine lake—when a pause in the passing now of our short lives reveals eternity.
