Feelings
It seems that creativity isn’t as much as about making something as it is about feeling something. I feel it on a hot summer day when I walk through the peach orchard, fallen fruit squishing beneath my feet. I feel it in certain conversations. With old familiar friends. I feel it when someone I love is in pain. I remind myself that we can withstand hurt and sadness. I am tender-hearted and all of this feeling threatens to overwhelm me. I think this is why I need to take pictures.
