It must not be underestimated—the shaping power of creative work. The need for expression finds its way like the agency of water that creates stream valleys.

Even when met with resistance.

It’s freezing outside. My foot is painful and limits how far and how fast I can walk. Asking to take pictures feels like a huge risk.

Still, the creative path winds its way.

I feel as though the work flows through me. I am not fighting against. Not striving with stress.

This is the time to practice and play. Freestyle.
