Think About It

We knew Friday was going to be jammin' because preparing for a big workshop always has us running in several directions. When I got a call from our office neighbor just as I was leaving my home, I realized just how crazy our morning was going to be.

 At 7:40am our office was broken into. The alarm and other safety procautions in place did their jobs and minimized the damage. Nobody was hurt, but there was loss of property and a a big mess left behind. By the time I arrived, the police had just about finished their investigation, leaving wisps of fingerprint dust everywhere along with a business card.

As I focused on the afternoon workshop, everyone else moved into action as if this sort of thing happens every day to us. By 12:30p, a half-hour before our client was scheduled to arrive, everything was back to normal. I was amazed as I looked around -- it was as if nothing had happened that morning. A few of us sat and ate lunch as the realization of what we accomplished together in a few short hours sank in.

This is an amazing group of people... friends... family... and I thank you!

After the workshop, I stepped in to visit Holger, our creative director, as something he was working on caught my eye. He found a piece of glass from the door that was smashed with a rock, and wondered what it would look like if he scanned it.

I was immediately struck by the contrast between such a violent, desparate act, and the beauty of this image. And I couldn't help but hope that maybe the persons responsible for this will, one day, find themselves at peace, and able to see the true beauty that exists in the world around them. – Bob
