Description
I designed an image and threw it away. After time passed I pulled the crumpled up wad I had rejected from the trash to see what I left behind. As I spread the paper open I expected to see the disappointment of everything I knew I could never be. "This is not art" I said to myself as the paper came alive. When I could fully see what I had thrown away I was surprised. This was not the empty expression I remembered it to be. This was something completely different. Time had given this piece everything I could never grant on my own skill and imagination. Time had given it character, form, and life. A life I did not expect.

When I was done admiring this display of purely accidental art, I crumpled up the paper back into the same wad, where it would remain, and placed it back into the waste basket from which it came.

Goodbye to the past, hello to the future. Maybe time would also grant me the life I had failed to expect.
