Quarantine Inspiration Log

To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. So do it.
— Kurt Vonnegut

Like you, I’ve been receiving humor-grams and inspiration videos over the last few months as we’ve all experienced the joys and pain, the pros and cons, of self-isolation. In the midst of the fear, the worry and the stress, many have found their comedic inspiration is stoked. Other’s find a more serious note about humanity, loss, redemption and possibility.

It’s all beautiful.

Keep making beauty people!

Past Clips

I was super inspired and moved by this collaboration. This is an amazing cover of the Foo Fighter’s song, now performed by Foo & Friends. I’ve had this on loop for some days now. The Spotify link is shown after the video. Seeing and hearing is best, though.

And for those audiophiles… the Spotify version.

Now on to some other goodies…

Stay sane, people! Sending you lots of love.
