Art and creativity make every day more exciting and alive.

If it is music, I want to hear it louder, again and again.

If it is a good movie, I want to watch it with a friend, a glass of good red wine, and no distractions.

If it is an intriguing book, then I want to sit in my favorite leather chair in the quite corner of the living room, and become absorbed by the story.

If it is painting a water color, I want to do it with a group of family or friends, enjoying and sharing our visions on paper.

If it is singing, I want to hear my family and friends voices as they blend into the rhythm of the song.

If it is building a tree house in the backyard, I want to design and build it so that it enhances the opportunities for making good memories.

If it is a beautiful woman, I want to look at her with eyes wide open, and enjoy the wonderful creatures curves, colors, textures, expressions, and body language.

Of course the woman is the peak of art forms, with nothing coming close to the excitement and delight of a simple smile from the welcoming face of a friend.

Some call this lust, and perhaps sometimes it is, and that is good. But sometimes, it is even more, it is the satisfaction of discovering, seeing, and recognizing beauty that otherwise is going unnoticed or uncelebrated.

It is not necessarily love just yet, but most likely a stone in the wall that is slowly built, one romantic stone at a time.

Sometimes she helps me place a stone in the wall, sometimes I help her place a stone in the wall. As the wall gets longer and taller, we get stronger and closer. The stones placed will always remain.
