THREE LINES
Once there were three lines. Thick, Thin, and Squiggly.
Each Line had a different job.
Thick was bold. It made a statement, and was hard to ignore.
Thin was careful. It was in control, and made it’s point clearly.
Squiggly was unique. It was all over the place, and did a bit of everything.
Thick liked to be on the outside.
Thin was happy staying inside.
And Squiggly? Squiggly went wherever it wanted.
Although Thick was loud, it could be hard to handle.
Although Thin was quiet, it could say quite a lot.
And Although Squiggly was full of emotion, it wasn’t always clear what it was saying.
Thick was the leader.
It could fill a space quickly, and make a statement even quicker.
Thick was hard to ignore, and not easy to forget.
And it could be seen from further away.
Thin didn’t get the same attention as Thick. But it didn’t need to.
It liked to be concise, and could elaborate on the smallest detail.
Thin could be whatever it wanted to be.
Sometimes it was mechanical, other times it was organic.
And still other times, it would let loose.
Although it was slight, Thin could fill a space. If given enough time.
Some people thought Squiggly was broken, without direction, or purpose.
But what’s wrong with that? Squiggly was always changing and different.
No two Squiggles were ever the same. And that made it distinct.
Squiggly was emotional, expressive, effortless, and dare I say, elegant.
It too, could be whatever it wanted to be. Even perfect.
If everything is imperfect, everything will be perfectly imperfect.
All three lines worked well on their own.
Each had their own personality and purpose.
The lines also worked well together.
In fact, when they worked together, they often said more than they could say apart.
But even the three lines together couldn’t do it all alone.
They needed someone else.
They needed someone to guide them, to give them purpose. And meaning.
To tell stories, and make characters, or imagine places to be.
To be creative or concise. Or just have a whole lot of fun.
They needed someone. Someone with knowledge, purpose, or feeling.
Someone like you.
