Romeo and Juliet

I went out on my daily walk this morning and set my music to discover something new. After two rejects I was blown away by this love song. Mark Knopfler puts his heart and soul into this live performance and his song captured my heart. I played it over and over, imaging myself being there. I welcome a moment of euphoria like this and let it run through my blood for as long as this high can last. It’s magical!

My earbuds were the closest thing for the feeling of live music... moments when I feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude, love, and appreciation for musicians. They are connected to an unspoken language and magic I can’t describe but they touch my heart and soul with their music like nothing else. I consider their gift to the rest of us who don’t play music or sing simply priceless.

Here are a few lyrics to entice you to listen. If not this song, then find and welcome a song that can do it for you and take it all in. ~Maria
“A lovestruck Romeo sang the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
Finds a streetlight, steps out of the shade
Says something like, "You and me, babe, how about it?"

“…Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start
And I bet, and you exploded into my heart”

“…I can't do everything but I'll do anything for you
I can't do anything except be in love with you”

Weekend Inspiration

Hello Creatives,

I watched The Book Club last night and found quite a few moments of inspiration. Maybe not for creating art directly but certainly indirectly. Here’s one thing — Something that Don Johnson said about listening to an album on vinyl from start to finish…both sides, made me think about how much I used to enjoy that. We have albums and a turntable so today is vinyl day!

Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.
— Plato

I like writing these little things down while I’m watching a movie…to remind me. Tell me, what are some of your methods for finding inspiration and doing it?

Have a relaxing weekend! ~Maria
