Truly Worth Watching

My usual blog content is focused on my artwork, a sort of artist's journal. This video's content I think is worthy of a broad audience. I'm sure my sparsely viewed blog won't effect the number in that audience much, but I had to share it. For me art has to be influenced by one's beliefs about this world, and I have to agree with what is said in this speech.

Sprouts

All these sprouts are now four days from their first peak above the soil. As you can see some are almost three inches tall with four leaves going and others still have leaves bound in their sunflower shells.

These aren't in my art yet, but they surely will be. ;) Watching something grow and form is a definite inspiration.
