Tadao Ando, Jason Mraz and Dancing Alone


Tadao Ando's Church of the Light

 

I am not religious, but more spiritual. Recently, when I listened to Jason Mraz's song Live High, I realized how design and music (and art, and architecture) can inspire, dictate behaviour, make you raise your hands up, and do things that you would not normally do.

 I know this because, I found myself dancing to the song in my living room, alone. That's power.

    Isn't it fun to just let loose and "dance like there's nobody watching" :-)

    Happy dancing!!

    Hello Michelle,

    I am always finding myself inspired by the art, architecture, design, etc. of daily life - and I think that that catching moment is the easiest way to separate design from decor. Thank you for your ever inspirational designs.
    Warmly,
    from one Michelle to another

    I have always a song that I use to inspire me. I totally believe in the combo music/design. I would love to dance one day with you Michelle :)

I so look forward to reading your comments!! Like many bloggers, from time to time I receive nasty comments from those hiding behind the anonymous curtain which I delete immediately.
