Love that quote from your art teacher, and your truth about there being more beauty out there to be had. I like to remind myself about the story of God providing Mana to the Isrealites each day...some would doubt that there would be more the next day so would take more than they would need, come to find out God continued to provide the delicious food, and the hoarded food spoiled.
