EXCERPT 1:

When the foam opened, green and white parcels of paper stared at Howard Kirby. He pushed his hand into the foam cushion; he could feel more packets! Kirby pulled a couple out. The green and white paper packets were wrapped in separate packages – transparent plastic neatly divided several stacks. Some neatly printed labels – marking the packets – were written on the packets to mark the small parcels. It was meticulously organised.

Slowly he pulled all the packets out of the pocket. He placed it on the couch; some packets dropped out of his hand and fell to the ground. He grabbed the cushion by the ears – pocket opening facing down – and shooked every parcel out. He checked and double-checked the pocket in the foam. It was empty. While holding the cushion in both hands, his eyes were transfixed on the green and white coloured packets laying on the couch and the ground. He placed the cushion back on the ottoman and picked up two packets – one in each hand.

Description

EXCERPT 2:

When I scrolled through the comments of the many people who have donated at GoFundMe one a single comment that stood out for me was: ‘I can’t stop thinking about this guy.’ Me too. I just can’t stop thinking about Howard Kirby and his actions. You know why? The world is so full of negativity, so much hatred and conniving people. However, Kirby stands out like a freshly painted lighthouse with white birds circling in the sky above it. It elevates our spirit, it inspires, and it cleanses our muddled thinking. It shouts clarity and transparency. When I finished reading the articles on Kirby, it felt like I was standing with Kirby; some of the new fresh black and white paint of the ‘lighthouse’ rubbed off on me. It feels so good. White birds encircled me. It just feels right.

 

I found two images that depict and contrast my emotions about Kirby’s actions. I want to share the two images with you. The juxtaposition of the two lighthouse images shows a surreal lighthouse bent out of shape (first image – negativity) and a freshly painted black and white lighthouse with white birds circling around it (second image). After I have analysed Kirby’s actions, the black and white lighthouse with birds circling the lighthouse, conjured up in my heart; I share it with you.

IMAGE 1: A surreal lighthouse: Bent out of shape. It elicits negative thoughts and perceptions for me. See the black birds and surrounding desert – excellent symbolism.
