BiGGER
BETTER
BRIGHTER
that’s what it’s all about in our world today, isn’t it. . .
and oh guess what. . .
we’ve been told countless times over
IN FACT
just watch the news
or just being in a group of people that you don’t even know
standing in line at a grocery store
or a coffee shop
S T O P
Listen to all the bad news that the world is giving us
P L A C E S
As if we don’t have those very dark places in our life
that are asking for what not a bonfire
not even a candle
or even a constant flame. . .
How about just a
F L I C K E R
just a flicker of Hope
and psssssssssssssssssssssssssst:
even if it comes from a
fake candle
that gives
it’s better than a brand new one that doesn’t. . .
so maybe the biggest question is:
ARE YOU THAT FLICKER
FROM A FLAME
AND LIGHT
A DARK SPOT
IN A DARK PLACE
TAHT NEEDS TO BE ILLUMINATED. . .
Are you?
BE THE SPARK
THE EMBER
THAT STARTS
THINGS
G L O W I N G
INSIGNIFICANT s i g n i f i c a n c e
Ever feel insignificant?
Ever feel as insignificant as a
F E R RU L E. . .
You know. . .

Ever feel like a FERRULE
or even a basket full of them. . .
Seriously. . .
did you even know that band around a pencil
was ever really called a FERRULE
or for that matter, even had a name?
Talk about INSIGNIFICANCE. . .
TALK ABOUT FEELING INSIGNIFICANCE
or having it personified
B U T
that’s not
Y O U. . .
I F
the Ferrule
has a purpose
of being a metal band
that cinch around the bases
of erasers
and it actually has a name
a distinct purpose
how in our wildest imaginations
and unleashed understandings
can we fathom
N O T
having a purpose
having a menaing
having a destiny
having a reason
So get at I T
Isn’t that the ONE thing that makes us severely
S I G N I F I C A N T
that YOU are actually not just redirectable
but utterly RE-DEFINABLE
YOU get instant DO-OVER’S
of yourself any time
Y O U C H O O S E. . .
and more:
YOU are a SPARK
WHO is utterly inextinguishable
setting off bonfires in others
. . .that’s SIGNIFICANT
and more. . .
uhhhhhhhh. . .
much more than a shiny band of metal securing an eraser to a pencil
and more. . .
The greatest thing about each one of us is that
A L I F E T I M E
can not only be lived in
A M O M E N T
but a L I F E
can forever be changed in that very moment:
S I G N I F I C A N T
and more. . .
I N S I G N I F I C A N T
O R
S I G N I F I C A N T. . .
not even a thought. . .
and then again. . .
much more a mere concept:
The Significance of YOU
