My inspiration comes from pain and also joy.
People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don't find myself saying, "Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner." I don't try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds.
Happiness is brief. It will not stay. God batters at its sails.
