Psalm 23 (Sheep) Enamel Pin

This pin (5cm by 3.5 cm) comes with an illustrated backing card (15cm by 15cm) and two rubber pin backings. You can display the pin with the backing card or display the backing card as an art print by itself. 

The head of the sheep can be swivelled up and down to depict a confused and lost sheep.

When we are lost (physically), we look for reliable tools like Googlemaps, GPS etc to help us navigate in this current day and age.

But what if you are lost metaphorically? The quintessential quarter-life crisis/mid-life crisis/existential crisis in general? What do you do then? What can you do? We have resources to turn to—self help books, looking for advice from people, help from professionals, support from friends, family and loved ones all matter.

Yet ultimately, you’re on your own journey and others may not be going down the same path as you. We meet people along the way and they accompany us throughout a portion of the road.

But the reality is that we come to this world alone and we leave this world in a similar way too. I think deep down the fear of death/sickness is because of the loneliness/disconnectedness that comes from facing such predicament even when we are not living our every day physically alone. The struggle with infirmities perhaps exemplify the need for something more permanent and omnipresent. There needs to be something within you so that you are still your own person too regardless of whatever life throws at you. To be comfortable in your own skin.

As for the road ahead, fellow lost sheep, may we all seek and find the dependable Shepherd, who guides and accompanies us all the way through life.

You may (often/sometimes/seldom) feel alone but you’re never truly alone, and I hope you will get to know that.
