mission: MUSE - "what inspires you?"
by guest muse marty
What inspires me? An easier question to answer might just be what doesn’t? Inspiration can be found in something as simple as the produce I buy.
It’s a tsunami of color left over from my children’s finger painting.
It’s the curl and bounce of a twig
Or the sweeping softness of a flower takes the shape of a dancer’s skirt.
Inspiration came come just by feeding the birds.
It’s the joy and laughter of friends.
The world around me is a conglomerate of sensory information that is at times subtle and delicate and easily missed. Other times it's an assault upon my senses that demands expression. It's calm and boisterous. By turns soothing and driving. It's what is visible and unseen...the revealed and the hidden.
Inspiration is a third eye. It lets us see beauty in the common place. It comes from within…and from without. It’s the gift we give each other.
