Much of my creativity stems from the natural environment. It has taught me to overcome obstacles, to stay rooted and to keep growing. I feel at peace when surrounded by nature. My parents exposed me to these elements, for which I will forever be grateful. My worry is that I may never get to give my children that same experience. They may not know the sound of the trees as they sway in the wind or the call of the black cockatoo. They may never feel the excitement of running barefoot through the bush with nothing but a stick and a big dream. Is this what we want for coming generations?
