“All the darkness in the world
cannot extinguish the light
of a single candle.”
-- St. Francis of Assisi
I love this quote.
I love it because too often we pit light as the opposite of darkness.
But just like the quote shows us,
darkness cannot coexist with light.
Darkness is the absence of light, and the world is glowing with light!
Sometimes it can be difficult to see.
Suffering does occur.
Death happens.
Sickness and tragedy cripples.
But light still exists, and squashes darkness in its tracks.
As an artist, sometimes I feel like its my job to point people towards light.
As an artist I can use creativity (images, words, sounds, etc.) to expose what's (already) around us, and can send darkness running to the shadows.
How are you exposing light?
Peace,
Ross
