THOUGHT FOR THE DAY (1). 1999.

Little Sparta: Wild Hawthorn Press, 1999
8.9 x 10.2cm, 4pp, black on grey artist’s card with text from Finlay about a broken plastic model of a Spitfire that has been put away in a cupboard. Finlay muses that as long as the model is not in the bin-bag but in the cupboard then “there is Hope”.
Finlay then references Luke 9:62: “Jesus replied,’No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.'” which encourages the reader to look ahead, be optimistic and not look back to past issues.
A homely which would not be out of place on the daily Radio 4 (UK) morning news section called ” Thought for the Day” where religious and humanist ideas are broadcast. Hence the car title. VG+.
