By AIC Artist A. Williams
Unfortunately, on many occasions, we tend to live our lives without an awareness of causing harm or hurt to others. Our actions or words have a ripple effect on everything around us. I have lived parts of my life doing damage. I am so regretful about those times, but also joyful for how I can help others now with my art. Creating drawings that have a purpose is an amazing concept and I am grateful to be a part of it.
This whale could represent evidence of my bad choices. The scars could be mine or those placed on others. Despite those marks, the overwhelming desire is to go on in the freedom of the sea as a new day is formed by new experiences and bits of wisdom from the past.
The wisdom for today – Be aware of others.
“Investigate my life, O God,
find out everything about me;
Cross-examine and test me,
get a clear picture of what I’m about;
See for yourself whether I’ve done anything wrong—
then guide me on the road to eternal life.”
Psalm 139:23-24
