"I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free."
-Michelangelo
I realized that the idea or theme of "Road To Italy" has served me in a few ways-it has given me an agenda, or direction, but in reality Italy isn't my destination. Italy can be an agenda, because yes, it would be completely inspiring to visit, even live there but it isn't my most
significant agenda. The truth is, it's almost irrelevant to the rest of my life. It's a hopeful idea..
What i really want to focus on, is being myself and bringing inspiration and beauty and culture to myself. Which is funny that I'm saying this, because this "Italy idea" was me trying to travel to all of those things in the first place. So here I am. I think I'm going to change the title-the weather of this entire blog.
I want to connect dots. Connect all forms of art and intelligence and beauty to each other. Bring in good design, commentary, inspiration, and love. Ah, and almost most importantly, gratitude for all of the above. For this entire network of thought and imagery and sound-this sensory network that we all live in. I want to recognize all of the things that I adore in this new light. In this new direction.
So here goes.
