18: Miss Otterbox
“I always think that the best place to begin is right in the middle,” said Miss Otterbox. She’d laid out sheets of paper and plopped three globs of paint in primary colors on each sheet. Cautiously, we experimented with how it felt between our fingers. Now, when I find myself washed away and distracted, I return to that square of white paper and I start from the middle, reaching right in to the midst of that order, those three separate globs, and slowly mix them. Start from the middle, Miss Otterbox said. Or was that just about finger painting?
