In the truth group, we are to explore a "burning desire." Well, I am afraid that all my burning desires have burned out, lol. But I found a quote from some unknown by me person named Kahlil Gibran explaining the word esoterica, which I had to look up! He said "A spiritual awakiening is often found and developed in a wilderness. It can be a poem or a parable of a deep forest, a mountain meadow or a cactus-studded deser. The outdoor spirit of plein air refreshes and further enables the indoor studio chapel. Each new creative beginning is a confirmation of the simple truth of taking care. and while it may all appear to be self-indulgent and isolating, every thought, every stroke, every caress of the brush adds a small refreshment of meaning and purpose to our universe. Work is love made visible. 
This so fits me, so my page on burning desire is my creative efforts.

Love the quote! The face's expression is so intense, aware. I love the terms plein air - we all need to get outside into open air more!
Earlier today I was on a blog that asked something along the lines of what fuels your creativity and I answered mountain biking, hiking etc. that being outside helps me be creative on the inside. Tonight I visited your blog and it confirmed that. Thanks!
Carol, The Prophet, by Kahlil Gibran is one of the oldest books in my library - it is worth reading. It is not a read-through-it kind of book, but one to be sipped with the morning tea. Lori from Sketchbook
Hi Carol,
I love that quote. I love your journal page. The face drawing looks as though it is floating in mid air. Maybe it is a "Air Spirit. :)

You must read some of his books, like The Prophet. You will find many, many more quotes to use in your art journaling. Great pages!
Aloha, Kate
