Musings on the Wealth of Creativity Out There

Continuing thoughts on inspiration. . . .

Just a sampling of books from my bookshelf

to show you how much I love reading the words 

of others as well as looking at the art created by other artists.  

My shelves are  bulging with books and magazines.  

I am inspired through digesting the vision, the scope, the words 

from writers.  I apply it to my life or I compare how my thoughts differ.

I am excited by new ways to view the world, new art 

techniques, new visions.  I believe in  keeping an open mind,

in the continual process for self growth, in change and in hope.

I think of my father who late in life quit his secure, routine engineering position

at Xerox and partnered with a friend.  He left his pension and everything 

he worked for up to that point.  He took a risk on his vision.

He could have failed losing everything but instead, 

went on to success beyond his imaginings.

Books, words, visionaries, risk takers, beautiful vistas
inspire me.

I would love to hear your sources of inspiration.
