Though
adept at many creative styles, this Spanish artist is most known for
co-founding Cubism. Like this practical knight, Picasso was able to
bring his ideas into physical form. But his artwork was at times used
for more than visual enjoyment, as in the case of his painting Guernica.
Created in response to the bombing of this town during the Spanish
Civil War, it portrays the tragedies of war and the suffering it
inflicts, especially on innocent civilians. I am reminded by this daily
draw that we all have gifts - whether speaking, writing, photography,
or some other talent - that can be used as a call to action or an act of
compassion. I often tell myself and others that I am a "jack of all
trades and master of none," and rarely acknowledge my abilities. I
would like to say this habit is born of humility, but I think somewhere
underneath is a fear that if I have a talent, I have a responsibility to
use it.

This
image makes me think of biology class discussing osmosis (the diffusion
of fluids through membranes). The information exchange in a sense is
about diffusion - the spreading of something more widely. It encourages
communication and connections with others, creating a powerful network
that can become an agent of change.
