Libraries of Moments

A friend of mine was in a motorcycle crash a few days ago. He's ok, a little banged up, but feeling lucky. He keeps saying how he can't stop himself from replaying it in his memory all day and night: Car turning, hands gripping brakes, sky, ground. Now I'm thinking it too. Then yesterday I saw this vid and it made me think of the libraries of moments we have in our head. When you start recalling memories, it's much more fun than looking at a photo album. And it never ends!
