THE ARTFUL GARDEN: Jimmy Buffett

THE ARTFUL GARDEN

"The Artful Garden" is a metaphor suggesting how we can sow seeds of creative ideas. Gardens start with small seeds, much like ideas and art. They both need to be fed, nurtured and loved in order to thrive. This "garden" is a safe place to be both inspired and inspiring to others. It is a way to share who you are and promote forward movement within your life. A way to realize that you are not alone. Please join our "conversation" any time by posting your thoughts, questions and ideas in the comment section of
"the garden."

Jimmy Buffett

I was inspired to post this Jimmy Buffett quote after responding to Lori's questions. I just went to see him last week for the 15th(?!?!) year in a row and at every concert he talks about how this is "the best summet job he has ever had". (For those of you who don't know I am a HUGE "Parrothead".) He has also said that "I have never, ever won an award for any albums that I have done, but I don't care when I have "parrotheads" like you." I think he is such an inspiration because he played his songs even when he wasn't being "heard" and has lived his life in a way that most of us only dream of, which is why people go back year after year to see him. If you have never been, you should "experience it"!

"Some people love to lead, and some refuse to dance. Some play it safely, others take a chance. Still it's all a mystery this place we call the world, most are fine as oysters, while some become pearls".
