inspiration
Admirable work by other people is the purest expression of who they are. It not only connects me and others to the creator but inspires to dig deeper within ourselves to express our own thoughts and ideas.
“In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts: they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty. Great works of art have no more affecting lesson for us than this. They teach us to abide by our spontaneous impression with good-humored inflexibility then most when the whole cry of voices is on the other side. Else, to-morrow a stranger will say with masterly good sense precisely what we have thought and felt all the time, and we shall be forced to take with shame our own opinion from another.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
I think it is important to celebrate and recognize not only ‘genius work’ but anything that has moved and inspired us in any way.
