Reflecting back over 2010, my mind sees thousands of moments frozen in time. Many of those moments left me breathless with a sense of serenity that cannot easily be explained. I couldn’t think of a better way to bring in the new year than by highlighting a few of those breathless moments for me. It …
A Square Peg
“No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did he would cease to be an artist.” (Oscar Wilde) While I certainly don’t see myself as an artist (I can’t even draw a good stick man) I do think that I see the world around me a bit differently than others do. …
