Inspired by the 5th line in a poem by Mary Oliver, Flare. “Scatter your flowers over the graves, and walk away. Be good-natured and untidy in your exuberance.” This line captures what I am trying to create more of with my art and aspire to in my life. To remember the past with love and reflection, be the best person that I can be to myself and others, and be open to letting things get a little messy and adventurous from time to time.
