WHERE I WANT TO BE
This is an image we used at a recent innovat8e conference in Franklin. There were 30+ participants, mostly professionals: Our exercise was to look at the painting for a few moments and write our impressions as if having fallen into the adventure of its imagery. Here are a few of the stories:

Scott Stearman, Sculptor , Green Mountain Falls, Colorado:
“On the edge…stopped…I look at the distance and wonder…a place I’ve never been…it holds adventure or treasure or wonder…I think.
How do I get from here to there?”

I know this place. It’s familiar to us. I want us to be on one of those boats. I want to fly over the horizon with you, to see what is there…

M. Aren’t these 2 youngsters precious?
E. Yes, I love how they bring us snacks when they come.
