Morning Reminder

Things to ponder...., , , , ,

These photos are from a couple of mornings back. I was up earlier than usual, finding the view breath-taking, I took photos. I’m grateful I was up early enough to witness this, because in a few brief minutes, the marine layer (otherwise known as fog) crept in and clouded the sky, obstructing the view. Everything about the view, changed.

These images are a reminder to me of how every day we are given a new start, the opportunity for a fresh attitude and the chance to find beauty — anywhere and everywhere.

I’m grateful for these gentle reminders. What stirs those emotions in you?

Challenge to all creatives

Art on building in La Jolla, California

Especially during these days, when many of us are struggling with how to respond to life and all the changes challenging our culture and the world, the truth that artists have a duty to reflect the times seems incredibly important.

Creativity comes in different forms and mediums. I encourage you to mine those gifts from within yourself. That may mean painting, dancing, music, writing, building — simply creating something.

My contribution will be a book of poetry, to be revealed later in the year. 

Yikes, I’ve told you what my goal is. Now you all know, and may periodically inquire about my progress.

What will you contribute?
