Certainty

“Certainty is a feeling, not a fact.”

When we don’t have that feeling of certainty, we can begin to question. Maybe even fixating on questions of “What if?” And those questions are the seeds of imagined catastrophe.

However, asking “What if?” can be one of our most valuable creative tools.

Pairing our feelings of uncertainty with pessimism, doubt, apprehension, and worry is a cocktail to be avoided.

But pairing uncertainty with curiosity, discovery, possibility, and play — that’s what it is to make art.
