The Paints Are All Yours

"The gray is just a blank canvas, and the paints are all yours." In this heartfelt story, a grandfather shares a lifetime of wisdom from his porch, teaching his grandson that we can’t wait for the world to bring us beauty or "grand miracles." From planting the acorn to see the oak tree, to choosing kindness in a harsh world, this is a reminder that the life you want is built by the choices you make and the rhythm you set. Stop waiting for the light to shimmer and start creating it from within. The only thing I ask in return for writing these songs is a LIKE and consider subscribing to Written by Gar for more stories about life, perspective, and the beauty found in the everyday.
