Project Life - Day 38- I Am Life
I am Tanner. Tanner is Life. One of the things that presented me with the greatest amount of "huh?" during the Greek phototrek was the diametrically opposed visual happenings. I watched Tanner sell his leather goods for the better part of an hour. Brisk business and he is, by nature I am sure, no nonsense. But here is where it gets confusing. He's selling his wares against a backdrop of 5000 year old ruins. I'm sure he isn't the first tanner to sell in this spot - and likely not the last. Customers quibble over drachmas and he quibbles back. Thing is, the stones know that whatever the customer buys is a shallow material thing and shall not be long remembered. But this place, that stone will be forever there. Tanner is Life. Life is dichotomy.
