Each week I seem to come across a comment or quote, then I dig through thousands of photos I've taken over the years until I find the one that speaks to it. That's often how the Weekly Spark comes together. This week was no different.
I heard a phrase I can't shake: “You’re stronger than the moment you're facing".

I was listening to a podcast recently and someone said something that caught me: the path doesn't appear and then you take your first step. Often, the path only shows up after you've moved.

That hit me because it's exactly what happened out there.

There's a line in Tim McGraw's song "Live Like You Were Dying" that always resonates with me. It's not the skydiving or the bull riding (though I admire the enthusiasm), but rather the line: “like tomorrow was a gift, and you got eternity to think about what you’d do with it, what would you do with it”? That line sticks with me because it’s a simple reminder that time isn’t unlimited. We have moments, not guarantees. So, focus on what matters most.

We can’t always see where we’re headed or what lies ahead. This photo, taken during my bike ride across America in Kansas, captures the longest stretch without a single turn. The road appeared endless, vanishing into the horizon.

As we go through life, we can tend to fall into routines or habits. In doing so, we can look past the world around us.
