Creation

There is power in being able to create things. It amazes me how limitless the opportunities are for me to create things, whether it's growing a tiny garden, cooking a meal, or discovering music theory on the piano. With all of these things, there are established rules and patterns to follow. Rules have to be there, but what about patterns/recipes/etc? All they are is someone else's creations that provide the example for us to follow. Once we know what we're doing, we don't really need them anymore. We can come up with our own, more suitable version or invention.

If that's what constitutes mastery of a talent, then I have a long way to go. That's okay, though, because I have a lifetime, however long that may be.
