"Inspiration is simply the taking in of oxygen."
Well
this is one out of million ways of trying to explain this word and its meaning.
Yet, there are things which leave me
breathless; Things which bring tears into my eyes. I can never forget the moment
I entered the Academy of Arts in Florence Italy and laid my eyes for the first
time on David, "The Giant" by Michelangelo. I stood there, with a
dropped mouth, paralyzed. I couldn't move and then I started crying. A stream
of worm, uncontrolled tears. No words can describe the strength of the moment,
the influence of the Sculpture. Pure... beauty… sounds sentimental? exaggerated? Banal? Well it is what it is for
me. Honestly! I am a very imotional person.
Who
knows what exactly that uplifting moment did to my life afterwards but moments
like that made me believe in the beauty and grandeur, importance and indispensability
of fine art. And for me it is like taking in oxygen- inspiration.
If
you are still with me and didn't fell asleep yet while trying to read all this over
chewed material… I am getting to the point! I had a very inspiring weekend in
southern Utah visiting the great Zion National park
and Bryce NP wonderland.
Now for me moments of love, moments of fights, struggling, taking over challenges
like staying married to one man for 35 years and still be in love and happy.
Others like understanding my
kids, letting them go, looking at them in front of their chosen lives-
inspiration.
Looking
at a bunch of Crows running an aerial fight against a Hawke- inspiration
And
so on and on but these ones from last weekend were- INSPIRATION
And
soon will be seen working on and into my creations, my candles.
