My front yard is full of acorns and leaves from my 250- year old gigantic red oak tree. They never fail to remind me of POTENTIAL and engender confident expectation regarding my work, the entire human species, and the development of tiny things into enormous, substantial and marvelous things.

And here is a word of encouragement to all creative people out there from one of my favorite writers:

“If the tiny mustard seed can become a tree, if the acorn can become the oak, why can’t our idea flourish into mighty manifestations? …it was God’s good nature to care for them, and it is likewise God’s good nature to care for us and our brainchildren.”
