Inspiration – Click on the image for a larger view.

Often we hear, “I need inspiration,” or, “I’m waiting for the muse.”  It’s as if we wait long enough it will come to us. Creativity is not a passive endeavor.  Just around us, perhaps only a few steps away, there is always something that can inspire us.  If we look, it will be there, waiting for us, like it always has.  We need to take that first step.

I find inspiration in a beautiful photograph or painting, in the lines of a poem, or the words of a great story.  I find it by walking outdoors to capture the sunrise or sunset or a flower in bloom, or to hear the rustling of deer in the forest.  It’s also present in the innocent faces of laughing children, or the wisdom imbedded in the wrinkles of an elder.  It is evident in remarkable deeds of kindness by one human being toward another. If we stop just long enough to see it, inspiration will be there, waiting…patiently…for our embrace.

Leadenham Creek - A Still Afternoon

There is something magically captivating about reflections, as the sight of them draws the eye and stimulates the mind.  It’s a private moment, to ourselves, regardless of who is nearby.  We see the reflection’s image, and it draws thoughts within us…perhaps a memory…or perhaps just to preserve the moment’s beauty in time.

Mirror Lake - Yosemite Valley

Whether we are successful or not in our daily lives, rich or poor, young or old, beauty surrounds us in many ways.  It is our choice to carve out a slice of time to see it and appreciate it…and, if we do, the whole world takes on a different view. Reflections double the intensity.

Writing and photography are bridges transcending human boundaries.  Some people would attach rules to them, but once seen or read, beauty is uncontainable.  It is unleashed.  Each of us has that freedom, within our minds, to touch our creative spirit.   Words and images allow us to connect as people, to share expression and understand feelings of fear, loss, love, and happiness, regardless of where we live or who we are.  The power is within us.

We limit ourselves with boundaries.  They can be our homes, our towns, our countries…perhaps the color of our skin, our gender or age, our beliefs or language.  It’s a natural behavior.  All animals have it. Yet, we have choices as human beings.  We posture ourselves as superior forms of life on Earth, striving to better ourselves…searching for peace, yet starting wars…building great buildings, then tearing them down…writing laws to protect us from each other…talking about purity, then polluting the air, water and soil…seeking truth, but not recognizing the truths around us…holding ourselves better than others, while suffering the same weaknesses.  Recognizing how we aspire to improve, it’s mysterious why we conjure so many boundaries, preventing discovery and creativity, limiting our horizons. Is it knowledge we fear?  Perhaps it is fear, itself, that guides so many…the fear of what we don’t know.

This site is meant to explore creativity beyond boundaries, through words and images, while seeking understanding and connections with everyone. Welcome.
