Tension
October 01, 2006
Screen Canon 30d
Tension is a prerequisite to live creatively.
~ A. Meyer
I was hanging out on the balcony of my friend's apartment, my eyes closed while meditating on the sound of the early autumn breeze sweeping through the willows on the opposite side of the street, when I dropped my head over and opened my eyes and saw this iron curve on the screen door next to me. The spiraled line is quite elegant, yet it's juxtaposed with the heavy iron and worn out screen. The feeling is creative and tense at the same time.
When I came across the quote above, I thought, "Aha! So true!" A bit of chaos is required for anything new to be formed. If you want to embrace your life, you must tense up your arms and hug it passionately. Never be afraid of taking risks or the possibility of imperfection, they're both integral parts of the process.

The tension is here...
Between who you are and who you could be,
Between how it is and how it should be,
Dare you to move.
(song by Switchfoot)
