What is an image?
You know that excited feeling when you
notice a typo in a book? That's an image. When you notice something
weird in a photograph or drawing, and then you can't unsee it?
That's an image. When your cookie breaks halfway between the bag and
your mouth? That's an image. When you write down a word you're saying,
rather than the one you intended to write down? That's an image. When
you say a word too many times that it stops making sense? That's an
image.
There is one fine moment right before
ever realization. The thought is in limbo, between your eyes and the
space, between your brain and your skull. An image lies there (in my
humble opinion). Anything is am image, everything is an image, nothing
is an image. You can't hold on to that moment, you can't even recognize
that moment. But now that I you can't do it, I bet everyone will try anyway.
