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.
