The humble art of meekness

From the June 2018 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Last year, I had painted a mountain stream where my family had picnicked before, but the picture just wasn’t coming together. There came a point where I just wanted to toss it in the trash, but I put it under my drawing table instead and forgot about it.

Months later I came across it, and I swallowed my pride and took it to art class to see if my teacher could make some suggestions or even tell me that I should toss it. She suggested two simple ideas I had not thought of, which I incorporated, and today the painting is one of my favorites.

This experience became a lesson in meekness and humility—not only for my art, but in my life.
