Hello Twenty-Ten - Reminders of Lewis and Clark

A New Year - a New you - cliche resolutions - lah lah and all that.

My thoughts turn to Lewis & Clark with the recent turn of the calendar year and the collaboration they shared on the Expedition of their lives. If not for their endeavors we might be a country of ?? states and not 50.

The key to their journey:

Confluence
As my trusted friend and mentor used their epic journey as inspiration for "The Expedition" - a collaboration of artists with varied disciplines - I find myself revisiting the principles I learned through this most unique experience quite often. How the confluence of thoughts & ideas meet with the creative projects required of me day to day, pretty much fascinates me. 

Some of the words to keep in mind as I venture into Twenty-Ten:
Preparation
Object of my mission
Discovery
Trials
Independence
Scouting
Interpretation
Perseverance
True North
Journey

Little known fact,  Meriwether Lewis discovered the Woodpecker along their way............

Woody is still my Favorite!
