Remember Where You Come From

It’s hard to be creative when you’re comfortable. Any situation that requires some difficulty to figure out can often yield the best art in my experience. Whether it be a relationship problem or a physical challenge, being outside the comfort zone makes you think outside the box, which is inherently creative. That kind of thinking really opens up channels that seem hard to access when one is at ease. This freezing leaf reaches out toward the tree from which it came, yet it is finally noticed for its own beauty because it strayed.
