Dear Humans,

The other day I was cleaning up the kitchen and saw my daughter’s watercolor paints that she’d left out, the lid flipped open and those eight perfect circles of contrasting colors just waiting for a brush to dab them up and swirl them onto a blank sheet of paper. 

And I thought about all the potential that rests inside of those simple paints. The pigs, ponies, and portraits of people that she’ll create from those cheap, simple paints.

Find your own set of watercolors, whatever it may be. Maybe it’s paint or clay. Or maybe it’s words or numbers. Or maybe it’s your own body on the dance stage or athletic field. Whatever has the potential for you to create new things and ideas to put out in the world. Because the world is starved for new ideas. And the potential to create them lies in the simple things all around us.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
