A Single Carrot

"The day is coming when a single carrot, freshly observed, will set off a revolution." Paul Cezanne

Only an artist could make that comment and be convinced to his core of the truth found in it. Being a creative person means noticing everything, like a single carrot, and conjuring from it a thousand beauties. "Freshly observed" means using new eyes, seeing connections, following unapologetically where your thumping heart takes you when it notices something un-carrot about a carrot.

It is then that you change.

Then imagine, if a carrot can change you, what of those who begin to notice you? Will they also be changed?

There is a densely packed revolution stuffed into every carrot, ready to change the world.

If you're bored with a carrot, it's not the carrot's fault.
