Faith saves our souls alive by giving us a universe of the taken-for-granted.

Creativity is an energy. It's a precious energy, and it's something to be protected. A lot of people take for granted that they're a creative person, but I know from experience, feeling it in myself, it is a magic; it is an energy. And it can't be taken for granted.

Ava DuVernay

It's the same in the office, the lab, the factory.
