A morning glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books.
- Walt Whitman
In every man's heart there is a secret nerve that answers to the vibrations of beauty.
- Christopher Morley
The more alive that secret nerve
The more sensitive that person is to beauty
The happier, the more complete, that person.
The perception of beauty is a kind of barometer telling each of us how close we are to actually perceiving the energy. Once you observe this energy, you realize it's on the same continuum as beauty.
- James Redfield, The Celestine Prophecy

The page above is from the first draft of a new art journal I’m working on:
Love, Gratitude And Faith In Your Spiritual Journey
Recent Projects And Random Thoughts
The 2024 Heron Dance Creativity Planner (Digital) with the Nurturing The Song Within Diary Planner (print edition).
The new art journal, Nurturing The Song Within, explores the inner work that underlies creative work, and creating a unique life.
Join Heron Dancers for a discussion of Rod’s book, Nurturing The Song Within and related poetry, art and philosophy each Sunday (tonight!) at 7pm Eastern. More here.
The Art Journal: These two pages will be the starting point for this upcoming Sunday’s Zoom Readers Group discussion.
