People imitate nature in the sense that our most beautiful parts are typically our most overlooked.

Waterfalls are roaring spills that oddly calm the soul,

But the rocks behind them are what form them.

When I sat behind the waterfall I watched the world the way these rocks might,

I watched the water rush away from me and I imagined the “oohs” and “ahs” of folks standing beneath the water,

I realized that I am these rocks, and so are you, and so is everybody you’ve ever met – 

Because it is our creations that people notice,

The things of which we craft and design are the things that render people speechless,

Our works of art and their ability to cause happiness for others,

This waterfall is a masterpiece and the rocks beneath it are the artist,

We are the artists.

And while society would not function without art,

It would be nothing without artists.

The beauty of creation is the beauty of humankind.
