We never know what we might bump into in life that will inspire us, so I've decided to fill this blog with things I come across that inspire me. Mainly I'll share art, architecture, and poetry, or anything I find that fascinates me and I feel is worth sharing.

Holy Sonnet XVI -John Donne
Father, part of His double interest
Unto Thy kingdom Thy Son gives to me;
His jointure in the knotty Trinity
He keeps, and gives to me his death's conquest.
This Lamb, whose death with life the world hath blest,
Was from the world's beginning slain, and He
Hath made two wills, which with the legacy
Of His and Thy kingdom do thy sons invest.
Yet such are these laws, that men argue yet
Whether a man those statutes can fulfil.
None doth; but thy all-healing grace and Spirit
Revive again what law and letter kill.
Thy law's abridgement, and Thy last command
Is all but love; O let this last Will stand!
