For many including myself, the world, in fact the entire universe, is a miracle. Chance or not, it is an amazing mystery. Or so it should be seen that way.
One of the things that photography does is celebrate life. Life is the primary reason for the arts and it is what you see and experience when you look at artistic works. Basically, art is a mirror of who we are and what we do as inhabitants on this planet.
I believe that life is not something we should take lightly. It isn’t something to take for granted. No matter what you might think about your own existence, life is an amazing thing to have happened. Not just the fact that we have a life, but that everything on this planet supports our ability to live it.
Once you begin to realize the miracle we are in, you might agree that everything is sacred.
Everything is connected to everything else. The miracles are everywhere you look. They are in fact the same miracle.
Life is a miracle. It is an amazing miracle.

“Miracles, in the sense of phenomena we cannot explain, surround us on every hand: life itself is the miracle of miracles. “- George Bernard Shaw
“Everything is a miracle. It is a miracle that one does not dissolve in one’s bath like a lump of sugar.” – Pablo Picasso
Take nothing for granted. You are a part of it all.
