Through the Lens

Life is conveyed not just through a heartbeat and brain wave activity, but though an immeasurable spark that animates our faces, our conversations, our being. That spark may be the pursuit of love, success, excitement, validation, connection, happiness, learning, God, or freedom. Its fuel is hope. Without a belief in a better future, it dies. And, aside from an early death, my greatest fear is one day losing that spark, either through gradual disillusionment or sudden calamity.
