Creatively Thinking

  Featured image:  Rocks Along the Ogami Shore Every rock in my rock jars has meaning and is a treasure.  Every rock matters. As I reflect on each one, I remember the open spaces, the waves crashing against the shores, and endless and endless creative thoughts.  Have you ever spent a glorious day on the Lake Superior rocky shores walking along - when suddenly you stop bending over for a rock catches your eye, you pick that rock up and examine it? It was unique, like all the ones in my rock jars.  We all are like the rocks in my rock jars: unique, beautiful, and divine.
