Pride

  1. Illustration: A tall graceful heron standing calmly in a shallow pond at dawn, reflections in the still water, reeds and mist. Let go of pride. Keep your dignity.
  2. Illustration: Two hands' worth of gardening tools shared between two garden plots over a low fence, a watering can passed across, spring flowers, no people. Asking for help is strength wearing humble clothes.
  3. Illustration: A winding mountain trail seen from the top, with a small backpack resting on a rock at the summit and a wide view of valleys below, sunrise. Be proud of how far you've come.
  4. Illustration: A single chair at the head of a long empty dining table, a lone plate and glass, evening light through tall windows. Being right is lonely if you lose the people.
  5. Illustration: A small wooden bridge connecting two grassy riverbanks in a peaceful valley, a tall stone wall visible in the distance, afternoon sunshine. Pride builds walls. Humility builds bridges.
