306

As I sit in a darkened theater, I’m sustained by an unbridled hope and optimism. I don’t know whether I’m looking for answers to my own questions about life, or whether I’m sitting in the dark silently giving thanks that I’m not up there on that giant screen confronting the struggles and challenges I’m seeing. But I do know that somewhere in those reflected images, I may glean an insight, an awareness, a hope that might embrace the personal meaning of my life.
