All great beauty reaches out to us from a distance and pulls us back into ourselves...
Perhaps some of you have found this to be true.
And when you read other people's accounts of inspiration, perhaps you can relate to it better by connecting it with your own sources of inspiration. If you are on this site, the music and energy of Marty Casey is probably one of your inspirations. So, if you read something that seems to point to the same sorts of feelings that you get from being a MC fan, I invite you to share them with us.
I will start it out...
Jane Addams, from Twenty Years at Hull House
"The wonder and beauty of Italy (Marty) brought healing and some relief to the paralyzing sense of the futility of all artistic and intellectual effort when disconnected from the ultimate test of the conduct it inspired. The serene and soothing touch of history (Marty's music) also aroused old enthusiasms, although some of their manifestations were such as one smiles over more easily in retrospection than at the moment."
Margeret Fuller wrote in her Journal, " Once I was almost all intellect; now I am almost all feeling. Nature vindicates her rights, and I feel all Italy glowing beneath the Saxon crust. This cannot last long; I shall burn to ashes if all this smoulders here much longer."
I would love to hear what you all have to share from your reading or own writing. Perhaps it's from spiritual text, poetry, literature or a magazine. I am not putting this under the creativity section, because I am talking more about the commentary on the inspiration, rather than the products of it. Is this a way out there post? We'll see...
