I love that sometimes they take us back to a different time, or to a different place. Chris Ann and I love travel for the very same reason, it fuels your soul and your creativity. We find we always return with new ideas and a renewed desire to create. The group is a new one in Baltimore. It was formed as a way for those serving in Baltimore to network and share resources. Sorry, no web site. I love that we are forced to stop and pause and enjoy the beauty in museums and galleries. I love that sometimes they take us back to a different time, or to a different place.

I wish I had known about it! I live nearby, in Severna Park, and have wanted to get more involved in community services. So glad to hear that good things are going on; I just love that city!

I feel like often in our modern world, we are so inundated with images, it is difficult sometimes for us to truly see the beauty around us. We don't see the forest for the trees, so to speak. One of the things I love most about art & visiting galleries and museums is that it forces you to stop, take a moment and really look and absorb what you're seeing ( beautiful or not ). I also find that getting away & out into the wild helps spur my own creativity. PS-- That group sounds really interesting! Do they have a website you could link to? Love that quote from Iris Murdoch!

No, it wasn't the Creative Connection...(I so wanted to be there too). It was a local conference in Baltimore with people who are serving in our city with homelessness, sex trafficking, beautifying through arts and addictions. It was really inspiring!

No matter how large or small the object of beauty is, we are only viewing it from one vantage point at a time, in the present light and from our own perspective. Turn, or blink and it is different. It changes as we capture it with our camera. It is both fleeting and enduring. That must have been an amazing conference! Was it 'The Creative Connection'? I must attend that next year! “Beauty tends to be unprecedented and incomparable~it has a sense of being new.” This is so true!
