Tonight I watched the Kennedy Center Honor Opray, Paul McCartney, Merle Haggard, Jerry Herman and Bill T. Jones. 

I'm always inspired by greatness and the house was rocking with it.  Paul McCartney's and Merle Haggard's music was so well preformed.  It was impossible to sit still and not sing along.  The creative brilliance of Bill T. Jones' dance productions and Jerry Herman's repertoire of incredible broadway plays left me in awe.  But when Jennifer Hudson stood and sang I wanted to run to my easel with the music filling the space and cover the canvas with my emotions.

And this came to mind:

We can't always be famous, but we can all be great.

We can't all stand in the spotlight but we can all be becons of light.

We aren't all going to be known for our individual creativity, but our creativity could, collectively, save the world.

There should never be a moment of envy.  We are all perfect right where we are today.  To aspire greatness should always be the goal.  These five incredible people who have touched our lives will stand for us, the creative soul.
