SPC {i am 32 flavors and then some}
Ah, the many multiplicities of me. That’s what this little pop art self portraiture experiment above seems to symbolize to me. An expression of my many layers. Multiply this image by a few thousand and it would still only give just a small glimpse of the vast complexities involved.
We each have our own story, our own history, our own ancestral lineage. Individual personality quirks. Unique physical characteristics. We each have our own obstacles, our own inner demons, our own strengths and weaknesses. A distinct mix of likes and dislikes, talents and passions, hopes and dreams.
So many pieces and dimension to one single human being… isn’t it amazing?
The task is to recognize that you are uniquely special, have something to give, some talent no one else shares in quite the same way. This gift needs to blossom so we can appreciate and enjoy the benefits of it and acknowledge you for it.
You owe this to yourself and to all of us to honor your gifts, for only when you share your unique joy with the world does the entire world benefit. Every advance mankind has known has come because of someone’s effort. Don�t let shyness rob you and the world of the power and the passion that lies within you. No one can be all that you will be except you yourself. Follow your passion.
