Not the goal

Creative output isn’t always the goal; sometimes it’s a side-effect.

Not the poem, but the connection to spirit.
Not the painting, but the experience of mixing color.
Not the blog, but the practice of seeing metaphor.
Not the sculpture, but the exploration of materials.

The artifact is what remains, but the act is what transforms.

So the question isn’t, “What did you create?” but rather, “What creative acts come to life through you?”
