Glow

The glow of inspiration warms us; it is a holy rapture.

~ Ovid

Within and without

Let there be many windows to your soul, that all the glory of the world may beautify it.
 ~ Ella Wheeler Wilcox

I was within and without. Simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life.
~ F. Scott Fitzgerald
(Unlike Mr. Fitzgerald, I don't feel repelled, but instead, enchanted and often mystified....)

I have studied many philosophers and many cats. The wisdom of cats is infinitely superior. 
~ Hippolyte Taine

Lines & crossings

A line is a dot that went for a walk  (or perhaps for a flight) 
~ Paul Klee 

Anticipation.... 

Their paths crossed only briefly, each of them unaware. 

Fits to a T? 

The essence of drawing is the line exploring space. 
~ Andy Goldsworthy 

Birds in winter

- William Blake

A bird does not sing because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song.
-Chinese Proverb

In order to see birds it is necessary to become part of the silence.
- Robert Lynd
