Description
My church group is doing a huge project called "Invisible Children" and they have this huge bookdrive that we helped with. We got a ton of books through it, which will go to help educate children in Uganda as well as be resold to donate money to build schools.The main quote for this project is "Be the change you wish to see if the world" by Gandhi.
We did a bunch of chalk drawings to help get attention (and cause we were bored when no one outside of church showed up since it was under-publicized). I didn't do this one (I'm not a good artist. I'd never be able to draw something so awesome). This was a friend of mine at church who is awesome at drawing. ^^

One must have asked oneself, I'm quite sure, whether one changes at all. I know that outward circumstances change; we marry, divorce, have children; there is death, a better job, the pressure of new inventions, and so on. Outwardly there is a tremendous revolution going on in cybernetics and automation.Β One must have asked oneself whether it is at all possible for one to change at all, not in relation to outward events, not a change that is a mere repetition or a modified continuity, but a radical revolution, a total mutation of the mind. When one realizes, as one must have noticed within oneself, that actually one doesn't change, one gets terribly depressed, or one escapes from oneself. So the inevitable question arises: can there be change at all? We go back to a period when we were young, and that comes back to us again. Is there change at all in human beings? Have you changed at all? Perhaps there has been a modification on the periphery, but deeply, radically, have you changed? Perhaps we do not want to change because we are fairly comfortable.I want to change. I see that I am terribly unhappy, depressed, ugly, violent, with an occasional flash of something other than the mere result of a motive; and I exercise my will to do something about it. I say I must be different, I must drop this habit, that habit; I must think differently; I must act in a different way; I must be more this and less that. One makes a tremendous effort and at the end of it one is still shoddy, depressed, ugly, brutal, without any sense of quality. So one then asks oneself if there is change at all. Can a human being change? - Krishnamurti, J. Krishnamurti, The Book of Life

I love the picture and i was wondering if i could use it for project working im going to be doing for posters.
I also seen you were working with invisible children ^^. I also used to work with that program. I wish to get back into it but for now im trying to work on the world at home.

It depends what the posters are for. Is it a school project or something for work? 
Invisible children is an excellent program that I've gotten to attend events with due to my church's recent focus there. Glad you like the picture.

It's just for expression, i would never make money off of someone elses hard work.
I'm using it for a group that i am part of called YASO - young adults speak out, silent no more.

I love this entire series. So inspirational.
We just had to do a project for a class of mine about Gandhi, so when I saw this I was a little over excited. ^^

This is super cool, I really enjoyed looking at your photo's from the church project. They're really neat, and inspiring!

Thank you. I probably went overkill on the number of photos, but the message was really good, and the artwork was pretty. They mean something, so that's better than just a random flower picture.
