what this is about

i wrote earlier about plotting my grand scheme of things on this blog and i have spent some time thinking about it. i can't speak for inspira, but for me these are the things i would explore and my entries would evolve with my knowledge:

I want to

  1. learn how to see a la george nelson - years ago, i had a great music instructor that taught me how to listen and use that skill as a teambuilding tool; a great orchestra or a band is all about teamwork and individual talent. when i started to learn the skill that had seemed impossible to teach, my entire perspective on music changed... the experience i had when music suddenly became 3-dimensional was incredible... i'm not entirely sure but i believe the same thing happens when i get a grip on "how to see", when form and design meld, when i learn how to converse with the artist or the photographer or the designer behind the art.
  2. get back to crafting, a little tribute to all the great women in my life - my late granny, my mom, my mom-in-law :)
  3. learn book arts - what can i say? paper = first love
  4. learn how to write <-- an especially painful undertaking for me, but something i wish i can do well with practice
  5. learn how to be a good person - okay, i throw this in just to complete the list, but really - i struggle with this almost everyday. staying conscious, yeah (!) i want to learn how to do this with grace...
