Pixels and Paint
While on
this trip I have been living with some very different people and personalities,
which isn’t always a walk in the park. Somedays we are best friends, some we
fight and scream, and others you would think we cared less about each
other. At the end of the day
though you have to figure out how to make it work.
The other
day I was sitting and waiting for us to get done tracing letters on the wall so
we could paint. We were painting verses
on the wall of the GEMS Hospital just down the road. While I was sitting there I had an epiphany… There are two
different types of people that make up my immediate world right now. The
Pixelers and the Painters.
Personally
I am a Painter, I get it from my father and I’m pretty sure he gets it from his
Father. Give me some paint and a
brush and I’ll do what I got to do to get the job done. It probably won’t be
the most precise, exact way that it could be done but it will get done and in
the end not look half bad.
Then there
are the Pixlers. The precise pixel counters, making sure the lines are
perfectly straight and precisely the same size. They can spot a mistake from a
mile away. Again the picture will get done maybe a little straighter and neater
but from a distance the same same as the painters.
Sometimes
it very difficult for the Pixlers and Painters to intermingle. Tension rises
and tempers get heated. My team
has 2 Pixlers and 3 Painters. You may think I’m picking on the Pixlers because
we are different. BUT, this is me just voiceing my epiphany and saying that it
is possible for Pixlers and Painters to live together. I mean my parents have
been doing it for 26 yrs now. In the end there is always a little painter in
the pixeler and a little pixelelr in the painter. Remember to be patient with
the Pixlers or Painter in your life. Humble yourself to them and love them for
who they are not the way they choose to paint their worlds.The End.
Sometimes I
even like to paint myself!
