dream seeds...and peanut butter

where do ideas come from?  you know...the ones that seem to appear out of the blue...the ones that inspire and motivate you to do great things?

sometimes....these ideas...have seeds...and you can see where they may have originated...maybe through a conversation with another...or maybe from something you saw...

but the ones...that smack you in the face....the ones...that enter your mind while content to listen to music and drive....sipping coffee....floating over a highway...on a frosty Monday...with the tranquil Montana landscape...as a companion...

maybe it was a craving for a splash of color...to disrupt the beige fields....a desire for something beautiful to share.  

but I was inspired....on my long long long drive.  sometimes inspiration presents itself...and you....

should listen.

because big ideas should be given a voice...what happens when this big idea voice gets ignored?

nothing happens...you go back to your originally scheduled programming....and that's it.  so yeah, you can either do something amazing....

amazing.

or you can...keep it to yourself...  

I guess that's a choice....I know...making big ideas happen can be exhausting....but in the end...I think...probably worth it...

you know....like Christo...on his site is a link to 'realized projects'.   I like that....

take something..from your heart...something born of your heart....and

realize it.

I've got some things I want to realize.  :)


and right now...my body is saying....'hey, cool your jets with your big ideas, I just want to sleep and eat peanut butter."

yeah, peanut butter.   I am craving peanut butter in the worst way.  Yesterday I cracked open some....awesomely oily...organic delicious peanut butter...the kind that has only one ingredient.

and I couldn't get enough of it....I think my system got depleted of something...that only peanut butter can take care of.

and I just...really...can eat spoonfuls of it....sometimes I throw in some chocolate chips...

I think there should be a song called, drunk on peanut butter....

and the song for this?  too many...too many to list....but lately I have been listening to youtube videos...on a show called Triple J.  Like a Version where bands cover other band songs...but...mostly the latest songs you hear on the radio....however....there was...Vance Joy doing Fake Plastic Trees that was pretty good...

and the one I am listening to....is a version of Jaime T's Zombie...as done by Lisa Mitchell....she uses cowbell in the most beautiful ways....her voice...lovely....

and the most touching part of the song near the end....

hold your own in the situation, don't be afraid to be a friend, 
Cause I won't hurt you, girl...or leave you a loose end, 
you make me alive enough to love, again. 




and sorry...


I've been so exhausted...I haven't painted in days....

peace..

and love...

and making the world....happier....oh...and peanut butter....

  1. Yes, yes! The need to create is one fire in me. As I recover from surgery to my spine, I long to paint and draw again. It has been too long. I am now not able to do much of that yet, but a new 88 key keyboard has entered our home and I am once again playing the piano after many years of not doing so. I love it, and it doesn't hurt to do this like so many other things still do. It brings images to mind as I play music and watch the snow falling outside.
