#573 steps

Sometimes it feels like we are walking on a long journey with nothing to show for our steps. We could take a lesson from artist Simon Beck who journeys through the snow and creates intentional patterns for the enjoyment of others. 

Take a moment to admire his amazing artistry:

Beck knows that the nature of his work is temporary and will either melt away or be covered with a new snowfall, yet he still produces his art.  Many things others work on will be more lasting, yet many stop short of giving it the commitment that Beck does.

The next time you are involved in a project that does not produce immediate results, think of these images.  If you have the forethought and planning to know what journey you are on, and the persistence to walk the equivalent of "all day", you too can produce something majestic for your organization.
