To see a world in a grain of sand
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.
(William Blake)

I am inspired when the elements and forces of nature combine to form strange and transcendental appearances... sometimes subtle, sometimes dynamic, they act as portals to a mystical realm.
(Diana Lehr)

Waiting for a miracle a dream that won't wander away.
In walks the night. In walks my fantasy.
And I'm dying for the light.
I reach down for a little strength deep inside.
(Heart, Anne and Nancy Wilson)

There was a time when meadow, grove and stream,
The earth and every common sight,
To me did seem
Appareled in celestial light,
The glory and the freshness of a dream.
(William Wordsworth)

Visual journaling allows us to access our inner language of imagery and express it both verbally and visually, while exploring the connection between image and word.
(Michael Bell)

But ever the light of spirituality shines from out of the East. In this age that light has become dimmed; religion has become a matter of form and ceremony and the desire for God's love has been lost. In very age of great spiritual darkness, a light is kindled in the East. So once again the light of the teachings of God has come unto you. Even as education and progress travel from West to East, so does the spiritual fire travel from East to West.
('Abdu'l-Baha, Abdu'l-Baha in London)

I am convinced that there are universal currents of Divine Thought vibrating the ether everywhere and that any who can feel these vibrations is inspired.
(Richard Wagner)

A real artist is the one who has learned to recognize and to render... the 'radiance' of all things as an epiphany or showing forth of the truth.
(Joseph Campbell)

On Georgia O'Keeffe: The last mad throb of red just as it turns green; the ultimate shriek of orange calling all the blues of heaven for relief and support... each color almost regains the fun it must have felt within itself on forming the first rainbow.
(Charles Demuth)

Objective painting is not good painting unless it is good in the abstract sense. A hill or tree cannot make a good painting just because it is a hill or tree. It is lines and colors put together so that they may say something.
(Georgia O'Keeffe)

The world is your kaleidoscope, and the varying combinations of colors which at every succeeding moment it presents to you are the exquisitely adjusted pictures of your ever-moving thoughts.
(James Allen)

I work in a meditative manner. My visual language is pulled from my unconscious and I express in my work what I cannot express with words.
(Pat Gentenaar-Torley)

The birds of men's hearts, however high they soar, can never hope to attain the heights of His unknowable Essence.
Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá’u'lláh

... the mystery of eternal might vibrates within the innermost being of all created things."
(The Báb, Cited in Shoghi Effendi, The Advent of Divine Justice)

Once I was a prisoner lost inside myself
With the world surrounding me
Wandering through the misery
But now I am free.
(Mariah Carey)

There is something of the essence of creative expression that informs and transcends all its manifestations - and when you touch it - magic!
(Annie Bevan)

To express the love of two lovers by a marriage of two complementary colors, their mingling and their opposition, the mysterious vibrations of Kindred tones. To express the thought of a brow by the radiance of light tone against a somber background; to express hope by some star, the eagerness of a soul by a sunset radiance.
(Vincent van Gogh)

And the phoenix flies straight and high back to Avalon. Now I'm on my way back where I belong.
(Heart, Desire walks On:Back to Avalon)

In our fine arts, not imitation, but creation is the aim... The details, the prose of nature, he should omit, and give us only the spirit and splendour.
(Ralph Waldo Emerson)

The sublime in art is the attempt to express the infinite without finding in the realm of phenomena any object which proves itself fitting for this representation.
(Georg Wilhelm Hegel)
