I am motivated by the aesthetic beauty of my surroundings and the wisdom of God. The combination of these great forces make for a greater appreciation of life in general. I believe that the greatest quality of one's life is found in our worship and adoration of God, in the ability to encourage, motivate, and emphathize with the others as we journey along our indiviual path to our highest ideal and purposed destiny. When we can smell the fragrance of a rose and appreciate its beauty, when we can laugh and play with a child to make them feel nurtured and special, when we can dialoque with our elders and allow them to feel like they have value and are very much a part of our existence, when we can encourage someone to arise from the bed of "do nothing" and inspire them "to do something", then I believe we are on our way to successful living. My writings have a common theme and that is to help every reader to enjoy the simplicity of everyday living, the good, the bad and the ugly. Some are poetic in nature, some are daily affirmatives of life lessons learned and some are being formulated and created into my thought life at this very moment, but all are divinely inspired to tell of the goodness of our creation and give honor to our creator!     Sincerely, Nadrian
