A ball of clay to a potter. A block of wood to a carver.

A word to a writer, or a note to a composer.

An object to a photographer, or a painter.

What is a ball, or a block, a word, or a note or object?

Nothing but precisely what they are.

Until combined with thought, effort, desire, and.

Determination of evolution.

A block, a square block of wood, carved ever so relentlessly into life.

A round ball of clay, molded into a priceless piece of art.

A word, combined with thought create a poem.

Or a note with composure is a song.

An object born is a photograph, or a painting.

The thought of an idea.

 Without effort and desire determined to create their existence.

They remain just that.

The thought of an idea.

Just a word, a note, or an object.

Creative thought combined with effort and desire are the birth of an idea.

Electricity, the automobile, an airplane.

The “Mona Lisa”, the “Statue of Liberty”.

The President of the United States of America.

“The Dance”, by Tony Arata, or “I will always love you”, by Dolly Parton.

“The Raven”, by Edgar Allen Poe.

The thought of an idea.

Until combined with creativity and determination to evolve.

Will forever remain lost.
