T'is not easy being elegantly green.

Genius is neither learned nor acquired

It is knowing without experience.

It is risking without fear of failure.

It is perception without touch.

It is understanding without research.

It is certainty without proof.

It is ability without practice.

It is invention without limitations.

It is imagination without boundaries.

It is creativity without constraints.

It is….extraordinary intelligence.                                                                  

excerpt from Patricia Polacca’s Junkyard Wonders

Truly listen to each line. At some moment, each one of has touched upon genius without even knowing it.  Genius has no boundaries.  The young and the old, the rich and the poor, women and men, all forms of life have an innate ability to adapt, to transform and transcend. That is genius.

Be bold, trust your instincts, listen to your inner voice and follow your dreams. Genius surpasses intelligence. Genius inexplicably exists … call it kismet, serendipity, coincidence … genius is unique. As my friend Sandra Oles would say … Genius is the ability to unleash your inner dork.

Mother nature is a genius. I cannot explain why. I know this each time I look out the window or step out the door.  Take a look at any one of these pictures that my friend Michelle Harden took on a recent vacation to Vancouver, Canada, find examples of genius … share them with me and the world.

There are so many wonders all around, open your eyes, take a little time and you will find genius.
