Push Limits

Written June 8, 2013

Hope and fear seem to walk hand in hand.

We dream big but cower at the thought of an unknown future. Dreaming small makes us feel inadequate.

We are the sum of our experiences, multiplied by our passions, and divided by our burdens, all the while subtracting from the finite amount of time we have to solve the equation.

Life is confined.

In the darkness we find light. In the light, we see shadows - the magnification of our imperfections.

Barriers are created in the mind while the heart is imprisoned by our perception. Hope and fear converge at the recognizance of open eyes.

We see what we want to see.

Our eyes are fixed on discrete moments in time, moments that shape us, shake us, define us.

We find ourselves only when we are lost - one cannot find what is not lost.

In the darkness, shadows are hidden, exposed by glimpses of ilumination - we aspire to be stars.

As dreams grow, light and darkness intertwine to yield a path towards what could be, what should be, what may be, what will be.

As shadow creeps into light, it is painfully whitened. An etherial transformation by which our eyes become truly fixed...
