David Cain shares the story of a quiet encounter with a deer that he chose not to photograph, and explains why the urge to capture remarkable moments can pull us out of them.

Quotes to ponder:
"Anxiety is a dead giveaway that we are not entirely present for it, because half our attention is in 'later' mode."
"The moment itself was over as soon as it happened."
"It flows when it flows, and there's nothing in the world that can contain it, so you'd better really be there when it does."
