Small ideas in small spaces means to find in the seemingly insignificant, ordinary, dysfuntional moments of life, the extraordinary, the holy and the divine. When i plant a seed and it sprouts, grows, flowers, dies and hands me a pod full of more seeds, i'm astounded! i see the seed as a metaphor for life and even for ideas. Everything that lives began with a seed. Some seeds are so small i wonder how anything could be inside. But given the right conditions new life emerges. This also speaks to me about my own seedling efforts in art or writing this blog. i don't have to know everything to begin. In fact, when i just go ahead and jump in, instead of thinking so much about something, that's when some beautiful, surprising things happen.
So, i hope my blog will be a place of inspiration. A place of sharing ideas about art, writing, faith, God and my ordinary, daily life.

The dot above i is a seed.

Nurtured,

An idea is a fragile thing.

Debra, beautifully said!
It never ceases to amaze me what comes out of you. Thank you for writing out loud. Like your metephor of seeds, it too will grow as you cultivate it. Writing about your ordinary and giving that away encourages and lifts up. KEEP WRITING out loud for the world to read!!lLove you, Storie

I think you may really enjoy this blog

Thank you, Madi, for your kind words. I will look up the blog you suggested. Debra
I love the dot over the i being a seed. The character in your drawing looks like the letter, 'i'
and the paper/book? he's holding is the seed! I agree keep writing! (This was deleted from lint roller because it was posted on the wrong posting!!!!)
Thanks Barney for your post! This particular 'i' is from the gothic period. I shaped it into a character. The dot of this letter is made from a broadedged nib which gives it the look of a square. This became the packet of "idea seeds" which is not clear in the picture here.
What a wonderful blog! So happy that our paths crossed.
See you when I visit SM, CA :-)
Thank you Jenny. I'm so glad you stopped by! Let me know whenever you're in Santa Monica, I'd love to see you!
