Heroes Not Zombies

Out walking the other day and I came across this mark on the ground,

It’s like a butterfly or a flower or something. What was it? Isn’t it strange and beautiful?

Actually I’ve a pretty good idea what it is. Take a look at the other mark which was nearby,

One of the interesting things about these marks for me is that I find them compellingly beautiful but they are for sure just accidents, unintentional, the unintended marks left while doing something other than making a mark. They aren’t art. They weren’t even created deliberately but they are definitely the hand of a human being all the same.

Everything we do makes a mark, doesn’t it? Has effects we don’t necessarily intend and leaves the world a little changed.
