I create, therefore I am

I’ve always been contrary. At school I was told I was no good at chemistry; it ended up being my strongest subject… and I wish my other teachers had been so  doubting. 

Armed with this super power of just being an awkward sod, and inspired by the leaders of our world – who find it easier to dismantle than to build – I’ve decided that every day I’m going to create. 

I’m going to create something positive, every day. It might be something small, like an origami crane, something intangible, like a smile in a friend’s heart, something grand, like a piece of music (as my cack-handed guitar playing and less than dulcet singing voice breathe new death into great works of art).

Every day I’ll begin with the question, “what shall I create?” Every day I shall end by asking what I created. Today it’s this blog post; it’s not much, but it’s a step. Tomorrow, who knows?

Discovery begins wherever you want it to begin, but it aways needs an open mind, and the willingness to admit that what we think we know might not be the whole story.
