The Call to Create

I wonder what it is about us that calls us
to create things - or to express ourselves
through some kind of art. In the corner
of my office are two boxes, made by
painstakingly folding colored paper, created
by one of my incarcerated clients. Our office
is full of his artwork. He lives in one of
the most depressing places I have ever seen,
but he feels the call to create art, the best
he can.
