Lately I've been thinking about what inspires me. These thoughts began while I was driving toward the hills in Brea on Friday and I could see the most magnificent thunder clouds directly above. Immediately I was taken back to my short time in Sumava, or The Bohemian Forrest, of the Czech Republic. As I approached the hills in Brea, I pictured myself at the very top of them, lying in the green grass and looking at the clouds. That thought has such a therapeutic calming effect, that I've been going back to it ever since. This morning I tried to seek out some pictures from my trip to Sumava. I found a couple that help to show what I remember. May these pictures and thoughts carry me through the week!
