They say, “One picture is worth a thousand words.” Let’s twist that a little and ask, What kind of picture can we paint with only 500 words?
In this mini-series, I will share passages which have inspired with their message, moved people to action, marked a turning point – in fewer than 500 words.
Why have these words stood the test of time? Was the message poignant, profound, provocative, persuasive? How would you say it?
Things desired... Our world exhales in 2021 (through a mask darkly). We pause and reflect, as Max Ehrmann did nearly one hundred years ago. Ehrmann wrote Desiderata for himself, he said, “because it counsels those virtues I felt most in need of.” Countless readers since have found themes of love, compassion, human dignity, honesty, humility, and a positive attitude towards life in the face of challenge and shortcoming. How do these words resonate with you? What do you desire this year?
To our leaders and readers, here is my invitation: From your head, heart, and hand, try your pen. Share with us your essay of 500 words or less.
