Whenever I do one of these exercises, I’m reminded how much beauty we have at our fingertips and how creating doesn’t always mean that you have to cast yourself as the creator. In these cases I feel more like I’m participating in an activity that reveals my creative nature, that uncovers the hidden desire for there to be more meaning—the powerful longing I have for things to exist that I wasn’t aware of. Or even the beauty that I witnessed being born.
