I first saw this clip by EepyBird in a post over on The Digital Sanctuary followed it to its source. I enjoyed it enough to want to share it here. 

And I wanted to add the thought that everything we consider ordinary, such as a pad of sticky notes, had a unique origin. Whether created on purpose or by accident, it was brand new once, and therefore uncommon.

Over time such things become part of culture and are considered mundane. That is, until someone takes hold of them, looks at them differently, makes new associations or puts them in a different context. That’s when the ordinary object becomes extraordinary once again.

There’s more to see from from EepyBird. Have fun!
