I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear. — MLK
This quote from Martin Luther King Jr. was the inspiration for this design and several other recent pieces from our latest Designed with LOVE artist, Robert Poulton. Cranes are beautiful and symbolic birds. In some cultures cranes are revered as a symbol of wisdom and the dance of cranes has been described as a celebration of life.
Love, kindness and celebrating the value of life are all things we can aspire to that would make this world an even better place.
We love the mixture of typography with the dance of the cranes for this beautiful piece by Robert. A symbol of timeless hope and love.
“An encounter with a crane is a powerful experience. You are being asked to look inward, show fairness to all persons, and protect your wisdom while sharing it in appropriate ways. In short, you are being shown the way to balance and good fortune.”
