happy spring voices

"Everything is blooming most recklessly; if it were voices instead of colors, 

there would be an unbelievable shrieking into the heart of the night."  

Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters of Rainer Maria Rilke

inspiration monday

i believe that if you're looking for true inspiration, you need look no further than your heart.  

it tells you lots of wonderful things that your head won't tell you.

and it's patient during those times when you listen to your head (instead of your heart)

and get distracted by other things.

it's where your creative path begins.....all you have to do is follow it.
