At The Speed of Thought

I can't seem to turn around these days without someone giving me the most brilliant ideas that I've ever heard... design ideas, marketing ideas, business ideas.  People just keep handing me these gifts, these incredible, creative, stunning gifts.

And all I have in return is a "thank you."  That's difficult for me... not the act of saying "thank you" (they're actually two of my favorite words when put together), but having nothing else to offer except the "thank you."

As an artist and designer, ideas are precious to me; they are an intimate and powerful currency...

They are a meeting of the minds, a sharing of knowledge and experience.  And, in my mind, the most startling and wonderful aspect of ideas is that they can so completely change my perspective... when I'm faced with a problem, the right idea can change everything, give me the power to walk forward over, under, around, through any obstacle.

And now, I have all these ideas... that were just given to me.  And all I can do is bow, thank, and honor the minds that shared these thoughts with me by walking over, under, around, and through.
