Ripples on a Pond

It is funny how inspiration works.  One person gets inspired and acts on that inspiration, which in turn inspires someone else and, like a ripple on a pond, the idea expands until many people are touched by that initial idea.

There is a Chinese designer named Guo Pei - who creates gowns of exceptional beauty that inspired designers at Ghee to create the beautiful gown above.  I seen that design and wanted to style an outfit and get a professional photographer to take the picture of it. To that end, I contacted my friend WrenNoir Cerise to take the picture for me, which in turn inspired her to create the image above.

This single image above is the result of an idea being cast in the water by a real life fashion designer inspiring fashion designers in a virtual world but real life people are going to see the images and it is going to spread out even further until the whole pond is rippling.  Think about that for a minute.

One of the most beautiful things in nature is sunlight sparkling on all the miniature waves created on water.  It shines and shimmers in a way that still waters don't.  It is almost overwhelming to think about.  What would happen if we all added something of beauty to this world - whether by word or action?  How beautiful could this world become?

How about we find out?
