I haven't heard a peep from anybody here for a while! Ya'll sleepin"?

I am in the mood to expiriment with new things these days.
I'm thinking about what inspires me in life and in regards to my artwork.
Curious to hear from you, what makes you feel alive?
What brings you tears, joy, inspiration?
What pushes you to go deeper into your soul?
What moves you?
What touches your heart?
What makes you take risks?

        bellydance! traditional sufi music of Iran by Sharam Nazari and the Dastan Ensemble, music by Natasha Atlas, the Opulent Temple at burning man with mass people dancing their souls under the stary sky, being true to myself and the issues that move me and speaking my truth, photography, and riding my bike every day

          Anything inbetween the earth and the sky and below and beyond.
          A plastic bag dancing in the wind, like on "American Beauty"
          A leaf changing colors during Autumn
          Then dancing through the air
          As it falls to the ground
          A flower newly emerging to greet spring
          The taste of a lover
          Dark chocolate anytime
          The way the night smells
          So divine so mysteriously dark
          A falling star
          The way the moon waxes and wanes
          The way the sun rises
          The breath of a friend

    Loopholes inspire me. The beauty of defects - exceptions to the rule.

    Wondering whether insight is best obtained by studying differences or similarities - or rather than 'best' - contrasting the experience of viewing the same phenomena both ways. The gestalt of holding both in your head at the same time.

      In college, I was called the King of Loopholes.

        the perfection that is in every petal, every blade of grass, and all the patterns in the skeletal fingers of tree branches.
        moss.
        the way the moon looks when it is framed by tree branches. that lunar spiderweb.
        using the elements to make art.
        eyes.
        lips.
        curves of the hip.
        light refraction off of water.
        fungi. fiddleheads.
        that shiver through the heart- that joy- birthed on the dancefloor when there is nothing between the music and your soul but sound.

    expression of the body; dance; music; good musicals; punk; magic; mysticism; people who live through trauma; any movie made between '67 & '76; film noir; good acting; and fashion, fashion, fashion!

    Physics and Nature
    The symmetry of creation
    The blessing and curse of human emotion
    The great need to spark change in this world towards a greater good and mass awakening
