Sometimes I see something which leaves me wanting to respond in a creative way.

I saw a short film the other day. You can see it here. It’s 20 minutes long and well worth spending that time watching it. You might not have time to watch it right now, but I encourage you to see it at some point. It’s very powerful, very touching and almost incidentally has superb camera work in it. Your life will be richer for having watched it.

It made me want to respond in a creative way. A butterfly might have been the obvious response (the film is called The Butterfly Circus), but for some reason I wanted to respond with a feather: something that is both enormously fragile – but has enormous potential… can make you fly.
