"The observation of nature is part of an artist's life."
English Sculptor
1898 - 1986
How much is your art connected to nature? Do you spend time observing the shapes and patterns within nature? Do you study nature and learn from it?
When I spent seven years writing and studying haiku, I spent time connecting with the physical world around me — listening to nature. I would take walks and write haiku. Even those of us who live in cities are a part of nature. Here is a haiku that I wrote while walking around Chicago.

a squirrel buries apples —

As creative leaders, we must look for inspiration in nature whether we write novels, paint abstract paintings or compose music. Nature has much to teach us about ourselves and the world in which we live. Watch the rabbits playing in your backyard. Enjoy the beauty of a sunset. Take a walk and feel the snowflakes on your cheeks.
