I don’t usually revisit my work. But when I was asked to speak at a church gathering about my climate work, the pastor said that he likes to start with a piece of content that inspires him, then build the service around that. That was interesting to me. I always start with the message, then come up with a comic to tell that story. But hey, I don’t mind trying something else every once in a while! So I decided to dig into my own pile to see if there was something we could use for the gathering.
I decided on this piece, rewrote it and I like it so much better now!
Do something, from a desire to add some beauty to our world.
Try something, even if success is not guaranteed.
You don’t get to control the outcome.
It may exceed your expectations.
Trust that whatever you do from a place of love…
… even when it remains unseen by some…
… will be gratefully continued by others.
Which version of this story do you like best?
With love,
Love this! My wife, the loving gardener, is doing the exact same thing. When we wander around town, she'll have a pocket full of sunflower seeds and upon discovering a bit of ground that won't be disturbed or mowed, she pops a few seeds into the soil. I call it "Operation Covert Beautification."
I'm with you, I love version two. I also like the text/image layout of it, the typed text highlights the images really well - works especially well on the phone as it is easier to read and the images are bigger! xo
