A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song. ~Maya Angelou

A little pebble makes no difference to you or me. But when cast into the water, it can make big ripples. Those ripples start out small, like the pebble, and grow with gained momentum. That is what Creativity Exchange feels like.

 

A small idea.

 

It is so minor, it almost seems inconsequential. But when shared with someone else, it grows ten-, twenty-, a hundred-fold. TheRacket (or I or you) builds on an idea and before we know it, there is a rocking sea of exploration, thought and inspiration. The individual ideas become so much more than whimsy within our heads.

 

Please check out TheRacket's half of CE over at his blog. His words show he sees so much more than my camera can. It's beautiful.

 

To see my half (words by TheRacket- given to me on Wednesday- with image by me, in response) look below:

  [the public pool]

week-old coffee stains
a Beamish pint glass

forgotten java now a
muddy swimming pool

for fruit flies practicing
their butterfly strokes

between the flecks of
dust like greying algae

afloat upon the murky
surface of the water
