Time is fleeting and so is inspiration. I don’t want my ideas to languish in my head, full of promise but unfulfilled. I don’t want to be satisfied with vague notions about things to do some day, when I have more time. There will never be more time.

I want to implement my ideas faithfully and extravagantly and make them real and whole. I resolve to act knowing I am bound to make messes and mistakes but understanding that messes and mistakes are not detours, but rather, useful and necessary—even fun (sometimes)—parts of my creative journey.
