Painting

"I am called from another world. I try to live perfect. I built this park of broken pieces to try and mend a broken world of people who are traveling their last road. I took the pieces you threw away and put them together by night and day. Washed by rain, dried by sun, a million pieces all in one."


-Rev. Howard Finister- quote is taken from one of his many paintings.



This quote is so touching. It says so many different things to me. The overall message is that you cannot be perfect, but if you take the peices of other peoples broken lives, use them, learn from them, and then shape them into who you plan to be, then you can truely live. I think that it is also saying that some things take time, and nurturing in order to reach their full potential. Sometimes i feel like i've been "washed by rain, dried by sun, a million pieces all in one."

Just because things aren't perfect, there is no reason to let that get you down. There are so many positive things that you can learn from and use to benefit you, rather than tear you down.
