construction + creation






"The whole difference between construction and creation is exactly this: that a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed, but a thing created is loved before it exists."
- Charles Dickens

couldn't agree more. i have a plethora of things that are already loved. and yet they exist only in my mind, my heart and sometimes in my sketch book. thank you heidi for this quote. it made my day and every day in between since you emailed it to me.

Hmm, too true. Thanks for redeeming the creations, the crazy half-ideas that get started in our heads but so often don't feel "legitimate" to love until they're full-birthed.

That Dickens, I'm telling ya . . .
