I think what I feel fortunate about is that I am still astonished – that things still amaze me. And I think that that’s a great benefit of being in the arts, where the possibility for learning never disappears; where you basically have to admit you never learn it.

In a science class we were given rocks and were told to write down observations about them and I'm sitting there giggling and playing with these rocks. One of my classmates told me outright that I was acting like a child but she has never touched talc. It comes off like sparkly dust!
I chose this quote because it reminds me of how childish and wide-eyed I'd get when I see or hear about something that amazes me. And if it is something I can touch I will touch! (As one can imagine that urge gets especially problematic at museums)

The Universe
I wonder if I could do something like this one of these days... with a lot of shiny things, yeah

Happy Accident
Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Design is knowing which ones to keep.
— SCOTT ADAMS
Lately I've encountered people who are down-right terrified to make mistakes as if rules and guidelines are a must in their survival. But I get it, sometimes it is scary like diving into the ocean or walking in the dark but the possibilities that can come from just trying. Even if it looks horrible, what if you can use that concept somewhere else? Or if the "mistake" is actually worth more to someone else.
During the college years of one of my teachers his classmate made a pot that he deemed to be crap and he sold it to my teacher for twenty bucks. Their professor told them that the pot was worth at least two-hundred dollars.
Now not all mistakes are not necessarily a good thing but you never know that mistake can turn into a happy accident.
