When we are misunderstood and unsupported, it’s easy to feel alone, as if we don't quite fit into the world around us. But something beautiful starts to happen when we understand that our uniqueness is not a flaw but a cause for celebration. As we learn to appreciate and share our individual gifts, recognising the beauty in our differences, we find a renewed connection to the world - similar to the harmony found in nature, where each element contributes to the overall beauty of the landscape. Drawing inspiration from the natural world, we come to understand that embracing our differences is a gift we can offer to the world, making it a more beautiful place for everyone around us. The answer lies in bridging gaps, cultivating empathy, and revealing the vibrant tapestry of our shared human experience through the acknowledgment and celebration of diversity.

Walking along a busy street in Edinburgh, my eye caught a sign resting at the feet of a man sitting on the pavement outside a posh hotel. It simply read, 'I am a human being.' It stopped me dead in my tracks. Kneeling down to take a closer look, I struck up a conversation with Sparky. And what started as a quick chat, turned into a few hours together, while Sparky shared his story with us. We need to remember that every person, regardless of their situation, is a human being with dignity, with a name, a story, a family and a history – like all of us. We're all human. And if you ever find yourself in Edinburgh, go have a chat with Sparky - you won't regret it. You can usually find him outside All Bar One, corner of George and Hanover Street.
