The First Walk
“Science and Art are both fed by the Natural World.”
For me, Science tells us how things are made or achieved, and the laws that govern how things can be created. Art inspires us to imagine what can be made, to discover in our minds what could be possible. All we need is a dose of imagination, the stillness of a quiet place to allow our senses to wander and to believe that anything is possible. From a poem, a story, a book, a picture, a sculpture or other works of art, to an experiment or invention we can create something meaningful. This spans throughout history and something we can claim in our present moment. There are no limits as to what could be possible, given the will and determination. We can do this with any aspect of our lives. We just have to choose what we want.
“Everything is created twice, first in the mind and then in reality.”
This blog is one such creation at the very beginning. My pen is the artist’s brush and my mind is the library of information that will help me shape the finished design. Life’s experiences have taught me that there is so much I don’t know and want to discover while I still have time left here on Earth. Footstep Conversations I hope brings both the science and the creative processes to help soothe and aid our well-being and mostly to give us some peace and joy in this frantic world that we live in.
