They give their own energy to create green sprouts. They are in a bowl, so they shrivel. If they were in the ground, they would pull up energy from the earth and create green sprouts over and over. But they do not have any other energy in the bowl. So they die to create, give of themselves to fill their creation. It is not within us. It comes from the earth, from the universe. We are only a medium, only a prism that just barely changes what passes through us from the world and back to the world—this is art.
