“Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives - choice, not chance, determines your destiny.” - Aristotle

There is something inspiring all of us. ~a.

“When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.”

Scatter brain and its' organized chaos

Working on multiple pieces at once, I have a notebook right beside me and my blog in front of me to write down quotes, observations, themes, ideas and images.  

My brain flows; my body accommodates. 

I have a pen for every mood and a piece of paper for every thought.
