Looking in the Mirror, Gently

31 July 2025 by Jen Waller

A wooden seesaw rests perfectly balanced on a central wooden sphere, with two equal-sized wooden balls placed on either end. Above the image is a quote in black text: "You shall not, for the sake of one individual, change the meaning of principle and integrity." (Jane Austen) The visual suggests balance, fairness, and the delicate tension between principle and personal choice.

It’s easy to spot when others fall short, but what happens when we look gently at ourselves?

30 July 2025 by Jen Waller

An image with three white, faceless, clay-like figures standing in a circle and raising their arms to touch hands in a shared high five. The quote above them reads: "The only way to have a friend is to be one." (Ralph Waldo Emerson) The figures appear joyful and connected, symbolising unity and mutual support.

To be seen, held, met with care. That kind of love is deeply human to long for.

On the left side, there is a glowing white light bulb lying horizontally with its metal base slightly lifted off the ground, casting a soft shadow below. To the right of the bulb, bold black text reads: "It has been said that there is nothing more uncommon than common sense." Below the quote, the attribution is given in smaller black text: (Thomas Chalmers). The image evokes a feeling of illumination, simplicity, and thoughtful reflection.

26 July 2025 by Jen Waller

A square image with a light grey background. At the top is a motivational quote in bold black text that reads: "The most difficult thing is the decision to act. The rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life and the procedure. The process is its own reward." Below the quote, in smaller font, the author is credited as (Amelia Earhart). At the bottom of the image is an orange origami tiger with black stripes, casting a soft shadow beneath it. The overall image conveys courage, momentum, and the gentle dissolving of fear.

The decision to act can seem like the hard part, but once we begin, momentum builds.
