Call & Response

The Call: For the Artwork as Much as the Contents — Cheryl

Over the years, I have spent a lot of money on seeds, but haven’t reaped much benefit from my investment — generally because I haven’t invested as much time as money. If only I weren’t so attracted to the beautiful packaging! : }

The Response: Mighty Oaks from Little Acorns — Jessica

Seed is a good analogy for how I’ve been approaching this 365 project. After I get the call every morning, I spend a little bit of time turning the word over in my mind. Usually one or two things will pop out immediately. Sometimes, when my mind has to be pre-occupied with other priorities (like paying the bills, or getting kids to appointments) then I have to go with those initial thoughts.

On good days, though, I am able to take that seed of a thought and let it germinate over the course of the day until something really lovely emerges. Although, often times what emerges can be just about as fuzzy as the giant oak in our backyard.
