Today Yannick Soyez did a photo video shoot of me in my apartment wearing three different hand drawn T-shirts. A portrait of what Saint Francis would look like today holding a compassion neon, A shirt with Mary Mackillop holding a forever neon and a face portrait of me with the text under it keep going.
The keep going shirt is about the advice my great grandmother friend Gwenda gives me most days, the compassion Saint Francis shirt is in gratitude to Saint Francis immense compassion, and the Mary Mackillop forever shirt is a hope that humanity and the earth lives forever.
“All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.”
Saint Francis
I love this Saint Francis quote about the nature of compassion and its healing qualities.
“Keep up your courage, we do not live here forever,”
Mary Mackillop
As much as I hope that our beautiful blue planet shall last forever, I also love this Mary Mackillop quote about the brevity of human life.
In conclusion I feel that compassion is perhaps humanity’s most important trait, and I hope that our planet and us live forever and I am grateful for Gwenda’s humour and wisdom.
