Definition

Lately I've thought about definitions. I suppose it started with my sister's brainstorming:
'What is the definition of creativity?'
'What defines creativity?'
When I draw something, my marks define the object I'm articulating. My thoughts make tiny decisions in tinier increments of time, which fire action commands to my hands, actions which produce effects that are interpreted by my eyes. My eyes send their information back to my brain, which compares the effects with my design.
I design, nay, define my drawing.
Since I had that thought, I've noticed the definition concept in more and more places. HDTV.

I'll end now by saying we're drawing our lives. Our decisions become the markings that define us. I'm more and more aware of this, and getting better at using my minds eye to interpret my own defining marks... and adjusting as necessary.
