Through her eyes


I have often wondered what it would be like to view the world exactly as another sees it. What inspires creative people and how do their minds work? As I look at a piece of art or read a book I recieve impressions, but I doubt what I perceive is the same as it's creator. I also wish I could see what my children see - what's special about a pile of dead leaves?

I have talented sisters, and Liz is really gifted in photography. I feel that I get a glimpse of what she sees when I look at the photos she's taken and feel the same way as I read my youngest sister's Connie's perceptive blogs. It's a great way to get to know someone, and while sometimes I wish I saw things the way they do, I know that it's a gift that we each see so differently.

hehe. I'm sure I've told you about the whole "WWJD" thing? "What Would Jackie Do?" I'm amazed at your creativity, and as Einstein once said, "Knowing how to hide your sources is the secret to creativity." Or maybe he flipped that. But really, in truth, I think I steal more of your ideas than you think... ^_^
