New one!

My son’s been drawing on the iPad a lot lately.

The great thing about a digital canvas is, he can do a few lines and then utter “New one!” and a parent will magically create a new, fresh, blank canvas.

And away he goes again, making his next masterpiece.

“New one!”

“New one!”

The number of opportunities to create are infinite.

The number of mistakes counted or cared for are zero.

I see it as a metaphor for so much in life. A blank canvas is only a thought away. Starting over is exciting, not scary. Opportunity isn’t found in waiting for the right moment, but by simply starting to draw, then draw, then draw some more.

New one!
