Finding Visual Meaning in our World.

Welcome to the blog!

 

Hey everybody,
                                   and welcome to my blog, Priceless Humanity.  For most of us, life is a series of events, all cobbled together and strewn across a set timeline, called our lifetime. When we encounter an event, we experience it, maybe reflect on it, and then move on. And more often than not, we tell ourselves that the things which our eyes happen to see are not significant unless we planned to see what we did, or unless we can quickly identify personal meaning within what we saw. The people we meet, the places we see - all are just "sidenotes" to a bigger work: we believe that we have some vague, life-long pursuit, and anything that doesn't appear to support it or move it forward is secondary and insignificant. We separate our daily lives and our daily sightings from our perceived "long-term goals," and we lose touch with the now, the here, the tangible.

 The purpose of this blog is to take what we see around us and give it context in our individual life pursuits. The people, places, and objects that meet our eyes all have something to say directly to us - to our souls. When we slow down and listen, we start seeing our world in a completely new light, and the little things, the details, start aligning themselves with who we are.



For each photo I upload, I will write a short paragraph in which I will attempt to connect the content of the photo to some deeper message that we can all relate to and apply to our individual goals and dreams.

At the current moment I am in Israel. Therefore, most of my uploads will be pictures that I take in Israel. But I will upload pictures from elsewhere as well.

There is so much around us - and it's all free. By taking a little time to connect to some of it, we can really benefit ourselves in ways we never knew possible. It really is Priceless Humanity.

I hope you all can find a personal place in this blog, and that together we can use every moment and every detail to push us to new heights.

Happy blogging,

- David Reich.
