every afternoon i come home and empty my pockets of the day’s gifts — sticks, rocks, bits of string...

found treasures i would normally overlook. homemade art selflessly given.

“here! this is for you!”

if children have taught me anything, it’s that humans want to give. we want to give and give and give.

generosity —

how the earth is made and remade.

i have lost many of these precious items. they have crumbled in my coat pockets. i have thrown them away. i have regretted throwing them away.

but always,

always,

i receive them gratefully.

i invite you to make something with them here!
