Inspiration

‘When I was younger, my grandmother asked me if it was better to go through life chasing a dream that will never come to fruition or never having a dream to chase. She later attempted to clear out a restaurant with a two-hour wait by holding a Bic lighter into the air and chanting “fire, fire.” Here’s to the chase. –Grant Barnhart


I am so busy these days and just wanted to share some visual inspration. Beauty surrounds us everyday. Even the open road has something to offer the senses. Driving to work is a different experience each day. My son, being with him and loving him means something new to me each time we talk or spend time together. There's not a single waking moment that is a waste, it's all worth it.

There's is always something to wake up to. We might feel depressed, unloved or worthless...still, there is something for us as long as our hearts are still beating...there is no rest for the wicked.

Life is just as strange as it is amazing. We have to have a pure, open mind when approaching life. If you take the time to sit, breathe and swim in your own thoughts, you could actually hear what quiet is like. It's like a hum on a humid night...full moon, and swaying trees. Quiet is that soothing rhythmic heart beat that lasts nonaseconds, to only collapse into one long extended note...it's constant.

When the quiet is audible, I think of words and images...it's as natural as blood flow, and stagnant like a vast open lake. The images morph into words and create stories inside my head.

Sometimes the quiet is drowned out by things in our daily life. It's when the quiet is drowned, that I search for visual images, or mental images created by other people.

It's cool to find inspiration in yourself, in the world, and the people that surround you. Don't close the door on any idea, you are not godly...be accepting of others, you never fucking know.

Good Night
