The iPad just came out last week. I don’t know about you, but I find this video [see below] really trippy… and cool!
What’s one thing you can do today that inserts a little wonder into your life?

Posted on12. Mar, 2010 by Stephanie Bennett Vogt.

“When how a person occurs to himself alters, everything else shifts as well.”
I believe that “spaciousness” is something that expresses itself in infinite ways. Here’s an example. Enjoy this beauty of a piece:
