Well I guess this is the moment when I begin to discover the wonderful world of creative blogging only I’m not sure exactly how creative I am. It raises my excitement just about the same way as the anticipation of “Show and Tell” use to when I was in the 1st grade. The prospect of learning and being inspired by what others have to share in the wonderful world of American Literature leads me to jump right in.
The beauty of photography, music, reading and art is a meaningful and significant part of my life. As an avid reader, I have always appreciated the importance of the written word. It’s a powerful tool that can be used to inspire creative thinking and excite one’s imagination. Sometimes it’s the smallest of details that paint the most distinctive pictures or provide the most inspiration to readers…..floral bouquets from the garden arranged in sparkling glass votives, a newly planted herb garden glittering with morning dew, or homemade treats wrapped in the palest blue cellophane and tied with vintage ribbon. The selections we have read so far have become the start of a love affair with literature and poetry. As we continue to “read” our way through the semester, I will leave you with these three words: create, learn, and inspire………
"Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen."
Leonardo da Vinci
