Spiritual growth works like this too.
Happening before you notice. Visible only if you look CLOSE.

Surreal abstract of a wall, floor. and book
'Beyond the Wall' was one of the first paintings I felt was ready to frame. In it, I took everyday things (a wall, a floor, a book) and tore through the surface a bit revealing patterns and possibilities hiding just beyond what one would normally see.

A ground-level close-up of a severely damaged concrete sidewalk in Fort Lauderdale. A jagged vertical displacement has created a deep gap and a sharp drop-off between two concrete slabs. Dried brown leaves are trapped inside the crevice, illustrating the significant height difference and the severe trip hazard present in the pedestrian path.
When concrete slabs shift this drastically, it creates a significant hazard for pedestrians (especially those using wheelchairs or strollers). ⚠️ We documented and reported this to ensure it is added to the city’s repair queue. #LookCloser #AccessibilityMatters
Look closer. The truth is always there, hidden in plain sight, waiting for you to slow down enough to see it.

Very proud of the energy from @childrenssociety.bsky.social team during #LookCloser week - raising awareness, sharing learning, empowering and amplifying young people’s voice & experience
Thousands of children go missing every year, many of whom are at risk of child criminal and sexual exploitation.
We can all #LookCloser to spot the signs of harm and take action. I met with The Children's Society and took the pledge to #LookCloser to keep young people safe.
A big thank you to everyone who has got involved with our #LookCloser campaign this week! We hope you will leave this week with something new to take forward in your practice while recognising the important role you play in strengthening safeguarding for missing and exploited young people.
