I love this simple example of how the seed of an idea can grow. You either make something with it, or it gets lost in time. I’m grateful for this little buttercup back in 2023, that made it into Step Into My Flow in 2025. Sometimes with art, you have to be very patient. Writing a book is easier than making a documentary and absolutely takes less time. But today I want to post this to show how something as simple as pen to paper can evolve over the space of two years. The manifestation of visualising a book, getting funding, and finally completing it. The power of now plays a really important part. A simple buttercup, paper, and a couple of inkless pens created a spark in my mind that I can now remember by opening the page in my book Step Into My Flow. As a photographer, I’m also glad I captured the memory visually too. 🌼 #poems #manifestation #nature
