The forms of those who are transcendental. Elevated. Excellent. Those who have passed from this life, so that the inspiration and image that their legacy leaves behind can be interpreted in brilliant ways, captured. Physical forms are mostly meaningless. Surface beauty is the most common. Beautiful people are everywhere you turn. No, that’s why the inspiration comes from the mind. The voice. The exterior is just the shell. So many people focus on the exterior when developing themselves because they worry about surface judgment.
Stylistic.
How you look. How you dress. How you act.
And in so much of life, this is true, and people will use it to perceive you.
But the inspiration has to come from within. A boundless fountain of expression internally.
Inspiration does come from within.
