All I can say is that you have the potential to understand this. You have the chance to be aware of the complexities that often allow us to believe in our own limitations. Your camera is uniquely poised to help you with this, but it will all depend in how you hold it. Belief is only as strong the believer. I cannot tell you how to do this, but I will share with you what holding it close has meant to me. It has explained in detail that we reflect ourselves in everything, that life lives us and that we live our perceptions of it. That who and what we are, is reflected in every shape that defines our interests. It is not in what we see, but in how we see anything that creates meaning and depth. It has taught me to be courageous, something not always stressed in schools. To believe in what is uniquely mine, and how crucial it is to add myself to whatever I come into contact with for learning to take place. It has described in detail that art, is never finished by the artist, but waits only for the viewer to complete it. It has patiently taught me that meaning has its own unique velocity and movement in each of us and that there is no mystery that surrounds anything that does not require a part of us for it to unfold.
