Art Speaks When Words Cannot.

Over the past week I have been fortunate to connect with some of the most brilliant and artistic minds, that have helped shape me into who I am.

I think part of being an artist is searching for what art is and does.

Both Erwin McManus and Rob Bell have shown me that

   art speaks 
         when words 
                  cannot.

Stop. Collaborate. And Listen.

I love collaboration.
I love to learn new things.
I love new perspective.
I love challenges.

And for the next couple weeks I'm surrounded by some really brilliant folks, doing amazing things in the world.  I'm speaking into their lives, and they're speaking into mine.  I look forward to coming back with new insights, dreams, and possibilities.  And in the wise words of Vanilla Ice, I am doing just that.

Ok, back to listening...

Peace,

&

This morning, I had an intriguing conversation about how we view the world.  The movement of the conversation took us from seeing it, not as a world of VERSUS, but instead of AND.

Read this list:

Right / Left

Black / White

Young / Old

Gay / Straight

Man / Woman

Sacred / Secular

Do you gravitate towards seeing/comparing them as VERSUS, or AND?

Try for the next couple of days to see things as AND.  I hope that as you experience this, you'll see the world as much more connected and beautiful.

Rediscovering Wonder (NEW Rob Bell Video)

Rob Bell surfaced from LA, as he's writing an upcoming television series, to release this brand new (and quite refreshing) video.  Enjoy!

Beasts of the Southern Wild

Beasts of the Southern Wild is an upcoming film (hopefully coming to a city and theatre near you), that portrays a humanity and creation of connectedness.  The film shows that there's an underlying spirituality to everything that connects us all - land, water, animals, men, and women.  The film looks beautiful and adds an element of childlike fantasy, that I hope will resonate with many!  Check it out...

Finding Creativity (the art of BMX)

In my constant pursuit of all things creative, I came across this today.  Its an amazing video of someone that's uniquely balanced, artistic, fluid, and quite incredible.
