folklore is by its nature not handed down by an authority. It is of the people, by the people—even if those people are children. So although kids may crib from pop culture and adopt things they learn from adults, making something their own and using it for their own purposes is what transmutes it into childlore.
When you contribute your point of view to the world, others can see it. It’s refracted through their filter and distributed again. This process is continuous and ongoing. Taken all together, it creates what we experience as reality. Every work, no matter how trivial it may seem, plays a role in this greater cycle. The world continually unfolds.

A great work doesn’t have to be in harmony. Sometimes the point of the art is to show imbalance or to create a sense of unease.
Our inability to comprehend the inner workings of the universe may actually bring us more in tune with its infinitude. The magic is not in the analyzing or the understanding. The magic lives in the wonder of what we do not know.
We have stories about ourselves, and those are not who we are. We have stories about the work, and those are not what the work is.
