The lens

A photographer has an array of lenses through which to see the world: microscopic, macroscopic, panoramic, soft focus and more. The world looks different through each lens, each lens attempting to capture a piece of reality, each contributing to a search for the whole.

The same is true for each of us. We can choose to see the world through a rosy lens, a dark lens, a hopeful lens, a scientific lens, a feeling lens or a lens of absurdity or more.

One of my favorites is the lens of absurdity, where humanity seems to be at its wacky best.
