Bridget's Bunia Blog 28

And after the vacation it’s back to work!
It’s been a return to the final research papers of the three students whom I am supervising. We’ve spent many hours on the exhausting correction of ‘jots and tittles’ so that the style conforms to that of the American APA format: commas, full-stops, colons, brackets, underlining, indenting, referencing. Is it worth it?
I’m sure the painters of the Pointillist School asked themselves the same question when faced with a half-finished canvas that needed thousands of coloured dots to complete the image. Seurat’s huge canvas of the Bathers – it fills one whole wall at the National Gallery in London - must have driven him crazy!!
Now that everyone is into digital photography, the importance of points and pixels is well-understood.

Just as a photo is made up of tiny dots that create the overall image,

so my day of 24 hours is made up of 86400 tiny dots of seconds.

And it's how I spend those seconds

- how I act and react -

which creates the overall picture of the day.

So I can choose to paint a day of coloured images...

kindness friendliness concern purity

politeness godliness

prayerfulness

Or a day of BLACK and GREY images...

SIN & SELFISHNESS

Blessings,
Bridget Howard
