The folds come first.
They establish something to build on,
Creases are a framework.
They give us a place to begin.
I noticed the same thing in my garden.
Before the cucumber could climb, it needed something to climb on.
When the drawing is finished, the folds remain.
They become part of the beauty.
We celebrate what is visible.
Hidden structure is easy to forget.
Habits.
Practice.
Character.
These are the structures we build before we build on them.
Structure before beauty.
Roots before fruit.
What structures are you building these days?
