It has been a while since I last post… When talking creative techniques only, to certain point, I begin to feel hollow and rootless. But when talking philosophical, I can go on and on and on…; because I feel that how we each feel and see relating to this world of ours and toward each other is root to creative expression; and in turn. generating techniques- out of necessity to communicate.
Techniques, however perfect, is really very little if there is nothing inward to reflect.

The only way to build and have greater understanding of techniques- is to always return to its source- experiencing life directly, from observational standpoint or direct contact.
I have not been in snowy weather for a very long time. Being one from a tropical country, snow has always a spellbound effect whenever I encountered; this time, I am reminded of the very beautiful silence when snow is falling- an amazing sense of calm magic!
Generally I am often shy to direct contacts, but this time- I made my very first snow angel.
As always, I am very grateful for your visit to Rainplace; I hope that you’ll continue to find something of interests from all my mumbling. Wishing you a most wonderful 2010 and that each day brings you beautiful and unexpected happy experiences!

Great post!! I feel the same way when I walk into this wooded trail in my local park. It is like stepping into another world that never stops giving me inspiration.
