I'm honored, Jonathon -- really.  First, that "the ripple effect" can go so far and so quickly, and secondly, because I completely and whole-heartedly agree with what you've expressed here.  Thank you very much, and I look forward to hearing more of your thoughts.

Inspiration?  I would tell you to "read" and read and read and read and just allow it to come...it will come if the desire is there, believe me!

Jonathon, try looking at "something old and familiar" with a new perspective -- there are SO many details waiting to be observed and perceived if you simply try to see them through another point of view...  Acknowledge your old patterns and try something from "left field" -- something you'd normally never try or think and see what happens...  I think it's just a matter of this:  if you don't like the view, change the scenery OR move to another seat.  Once you get in the flow of this concept, you'll be running out of paper with so many things to express and share, in terms of inspiration.
