This world is full of such complexity. Layers upon layers reveal even more details as you dig below the surface. There are whole worlds to be found in a single leaf or the palm of your hand. I have fallen in love with the complexity and simplicity that exists with repetition and variation. There is always more to discover. Nothing is simply surface.

This series created over the course of a year explores pattern in its complexity and simplicity.

Do you have people in your life that have your back no matter what happens? Are you that person for someone else? Relationships can sometimes be like a house of cards. If we are not careful with them they can easily collapse. Relationships can be a struggle to keep in balance in our lives. 

 

When looking at the natural order of things, Bees are really interesting to observe. Bees live in a community and all work together to produce something really sweet. If you surround yourself with negative people who don't believe in you, who won't challenge you because they don't think you are worth it, and have absolutely no vision for their own lives you will wither away. When we are surrounded in life by people who love us, true friends that will encourage us, and are willing to challenge us when necessary, then we thrive. 

 

Be that person for others and you will find yourself a part of a community that does awesome things and has each others backs through thick and thin.
