Inspiration The song "Stubborn Love" by the Lumineers has been on my mind this week there is a line in the song that says "the opposite of love is indifference". This is an intriguing thought to me, it is precisely this indifference that I'm trying to effect through my work. Another line in the song is, "it's better to feel pain than nothing at all" I think this is why there is so much negativity in the news and elsewhere it is easier to evoke. Link to the song on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGewQB3mDv4 Another form of inspiration like the aforementioned song deals with indifference is a Lenten message from Pope Francis of which the theme is the "Globalization of Indifference". http://en.radiovaticana.va/news/2015/01/27/pope_warns_of_globalization_of_indifference_in_lenten_messag/1120128 Irena Sendler is a woman who's story has inspired me in countless ways at different points in my life. She was a Polish social worker who risked her life traveling in and out of the Warsaw ghetto during WWII to smuggle out over 200 children. She is a little known hero who changed the world. If you are not familiar with her check out irenasendler.org there are you will find interviews and stories that you will never forget. There is a quote by her which says; "He who changes one person changes the world entire." This to me is reminder of the opportunity each of us has to effect change, it means so much coming from a woman who truly and undeniably changed the world. Work in Progress...
