[stylist] Inspiration

Tue Jun 12 13:56:53 UTC 2012

Atty,
this is so true - music really helps us in so many ways.
One thing folks can do, if they do not want to buy the CDs is to go to 
http://www.pandora.com  and you can make your own music station there - it 
is free.  For instance, I like a particular Tibetan Meditation Music. I 
typed in the name of the music and it made me a station of that music and 
other music like it. I do have the CDs but I also enjoy lots of other music, 
too, that I do not have CDs for.

I listen to music in my studio and in my house all day long.  In my studio I 
often listen to different kinds of cultural music from places where I 
visited, such as Czech music, or Puerto Rico, or different Germanic 
traditional music or Native American music - and I especially love Buddhist 
chant. This way, I am transported again to the places I have always loved, 
and that joy is reflected in my work.

>> My reading the past month or two has not been extensive because I was 
>> traveling out of the country in April and May, and in-between have been 
>> working in the studio. I don't listen to books when I am traveling 
>> because I want to keep my focus on where I am and to really see in depth 
>> the place, the people and the wonderful things that are there. I do not 
>> travel just to check it off on my bucket list, but I travel because I 
>> want to know the place well and really appreciate all of it.
>>
>> When I am making art,  I listen to great music. Classical, or cultural 
>> music from the places I have visited. I like ethnic and cultural music 
>> very much. When I listen to it I am transported back to those moments 
>> when I was there in person.
>>
>> Right now, I am reading a collection of essays on spiritual matters. 
>> Spirituality is right on my front burner, all the time.
>>
>> This book is _The Best American Spiritual Writing 2006_ which is 
>> absolutely fantastic. Many of the writers in the book are some of my 
>> favorite authors of books I have taught at the college in my literature 
>> courses. One in particular that I like so much is Wendell Barry - not 
>> sure if I spelled that right.
>>
>> I am still reading _Simple Abundance_ by Sarah Ban Breathnach_ and that 
>> one is a day by day reading so I will just be reading it for an entire 
>> year one little bit at a time.
>>
>> I was reading an extensive book on a 19th century French writer - but I 
>> just quit it because after listening to quite a lot, I was no interested 
>> enough to endure the rest of it. It was on Flaubert, and since I am not 
>> very knowledgeable on Flaubert's work, I had a hard time connecting with 
>> this biography. Maybe another time, after I read "Madam Boviary" some 
>> day.
>>
>> I just read _Want Fries with That? Obesity  and the Supersizing of 
>> America_ by Scott Ingrfam. This book was very informative, full of 
>> information of learning to eat a healthy and nutritional  way. I love 
>> books on fitness and health and this is a priority in my own life style. 
>> I am an enormous _Body for Life_ book by Bill Phillips and I live by his 
>> fitness and nutrition plan.
>>
>> I have two other books on the back burner and intend to read them soon.
>> _Melville: His World and Work_ by Andrew Delbanco   and _What Happy Women 
>> Know_ by Dan Baker and Cathy Greenburg.
>>
>> The other thing I am doing is the 12 day Energy Healing Conference. Today 
>> is Day FIVE for it.
>>
>> Every day, I get a new post from a different author and I am reading 
>> them, or watching the videos, or checking out the links for more 
>> information.
>>
>> So my reading comes in between the other things in my daily life - my 
>> daily workouts at the gym, long cardio walks with my dogs, making 
>> pottery, and jewelry, writing poetry, blog articles,  keeping a very 
>> active Face Book presence, working with animal rescue, and doing 
>> exhibitions of my work.
>>
>>
>> My reading, I think, is a kind of glue that holds me all together and 
>> gives me inspiration. I am often inspired by reading the posts by some 
>> writers here on the list who write from the gut, those who understand 
>> intuition and follow that path.
>>
>> One thing I know for sure, to be able to write well, you have to be 
>> reading and learning new things and doing research all the time. The more 
>> we uncover, the deeper we have to dig for more and more. Eve just spoke 
>> about that in her emails here, and she is so right on.
