Inspiration ~ I see green, people!

Green CollageA couple of days ago, I mentioned that I had to take our car in for service. Well, it turns out that the problem with our Air Bag Warning Light had something to do with one of the seatbelts. Because of this, the dealer had to order a new seatbelt, which, in turn, left us without our Beetle until Monday (hopefully). Anyway, it’s not big deal, because we do have the green loaner car.

Driving around in this beautiful eyesore (oxymoron intended) had me thinking about where inspiration comes from. Does it come from nature? Does it come from other “inspired” things? Most people would say that inspiration comes from within. But, where do our innards get the information they need to provide us with this inspiration? Most likely, from external influence (my latest film tried to loosely tackle this concept). So, as external influence feeds our subconscious the sustenance it needs to later inspire us, we might point out that something we’ve created or conceived of or dreamt was, in fact, inspired by a song or something we saw the previous day or…a tennis ball.

Earlier today, as my wife and I were out running errands in our green loaner car, we both started noticing how many things seemed to be the same color as the car. A green light. The H&R Block logo. A green taxi. The BP gas logo. The algae that’s floating in Brush Creek.

Who inspired whom? And where did this inspiration come from? All I can see is…green.

Yes you did a great job! It is beautiful. I am tired of the green on the new V Dubs though.
Your site is awesome looking! Great job.
