Exploring The Shift
The shift is not a thing. It is the action of discovering Self.

I could bask forever in the creativity of people and this one takes a top spot in my eternal list of appreciation about what people are spending their time with, doing things beyond the commonly accepted. Doing seemingly crazy things.

Like making art from toothpicks as Stephen J. Backman does.

 
Sometimes the deep things in life come from small things. See what Stephen says in his own words about his passion:

The fine curves and shapes that reflect the fulfillment of the material used is my way of making a statement, solidifying my thought process into tangible art while keeping my creative spirit alive. Although it would be much easier to use a solid piece of wood to carve the intricate details I have been able to achieve with toothpicks, the fascination and unbelievable expressions found on the faces of many people who see my art is a reward to my hard work.

What more can I say?
