vibration........................

     This is the essence of great art.  We make it for no other purpose than creating our version of the beautiful, bringing all of ourself to every project, whatever its parameters and constraints.  Consider it an offering, a devotional act.  We do best, as we see the best—with our own taste.  No one else's. . . .

      With the objective of simply doing great work, a ripple effect occurs.  A bar is set for everything you do, which may not only life your work to new heights, but raise the vibration of your entire life.  It may even inspire others to do their best work.  Greatness begets greatness. It's infectious.

the lion's roar........................

     Then, a beat of deep stillness followed by a lion roaring back.
     The sound of the lion's roar is the threshold telling me I have stepped from one world to another.  After so many nights abroad filled with artificial light and the hum of appliances, there is no truer sound of being home.  The timbre of the call, the way it rolls through the cold night air to find me.  Its powerful vibrations shudder the door on its hinges.  My heart instinctively skips with excitement.
     The renowned writer of the African wilderness Laurens van der Post said of the lion's roar that "it is to silence what the shooting star is to the night sky."
