The first step is to be aware. To live with curiosity and be open. I create what calls out to me, what presents itself to me.

What is your favorite type of art to create?

I think poetry, and second photography.

Where do you find inspiration?

Everywhere. Outside among the trees, the woods and fields, the creeks. At times I will wake up with a sentence and write it down. Thoughts will come to me. Practicing sitting in silence is a big help. Being connected to the presence in all things. My meditation practice connects me to that which binds everything together, the life we all share. This permits me to have communion with nature, and with the divine which is in everything. This connection is the essence of inspiration.

What would you do with $25,000?

I have no idea. But eventually I would think of something, maybe with some guidance.
