"The Tangled Maze"

Inspration comes in many forms and this morning for many different reasons this piece of poetry by N. L. ZINZENDORF inspired me greatly.

"He leads us on through all the unquiet years;
Past all our dreamland hopes, and doubts and fears, He guides our steps, through all the tangled maze Of losses, sorrows, and o’er clouded days; We know His will is done.....
And still He leads us on."

The grip on Life and the BUZZ that I get from reading powerful encouragement nearly always motivates me through the day. And Today I put the finishing touches to my website sitemap... maybe i'll be painting by the weekend, I have so many Ideas for some eye-popping paintings. I also continue to build up my portfolio of images, the photo above is of the sunrise at 5.30am a few days ago from behind my art studio!

Carpe Diem

People
They get bored being children, are in a rush to grow up, and then long to be children again.

They lose their health to make money and then lose their money to restore their health.

That by thinking anxiously about the future they forget the present, such that they live neither for the present nor the future. They live as is they will never die and they die as if they had never lived.

Creation of Ideas

"Ideas can come from anywhere and at any time. The problem with making mental notes is that the ink fades very rapidly." (Author:Rolf Smith)
After spending a few short hours with an artist colleague last night we both came to the same conclusion that it’s VITAL to start the day in the right frame of mind. Although I love my fresh Starbucks Arabian mocha java and we both joked about the powerful effects of this legal drug it’s not the coffee that’s important but the QUIET time that’s critical to the clear thinking.

The most important man made tool I use to begin the creation of ideas is my comfortable writing parker pen! A quick plan of action written down on a plain sheet of paper and there you have it…the excitement of a new idea waiting to be born. One of my ideas early this morning is to test the linking idea between this site and my New Youtube Site.
