The Giant and the child...


Thought you might like this one.

We'd just pulled up to Stanley Park, the kids had already run off to the climbing gym, I'd just paid for parking and saw this.

I was at least four hundred feet away and was going to shoot the shot just for the tanker, then--as I was focusing--the child walked into frame, going for the fountain.

Fantastic.

Connect the giant to the child.

The giant brings food to the child.  The child's parents buy the food and their money--after some long meandering--finds it's way back to the ship's captain and owner and crew.

They're connected.

Though one dwarfs the other, neither is more or less important.

They both depend on water.  Without it they'd die.

A tanker and a child a mile apart, through the magic of a lens, shown--perhaps--to be not so far apart as we might think.

What connection will you make--friend preacher--as you exegete and apply tomorrow, bending the truth as written through the lens of your study and life experience in the power of the Spirit?

What connection--friend filmmaker--as you frame your shots and tell your story?  What hidden truth will you reveal by bending light and tale together?

How will you live differently tomorrow--dear reader--knowing that each purchase, every choice, changes the World both near to you, and far?
