Inspiration

A construction site in the heart of the Fraser Valley might be one of the last places you would expect to encounter anything of artistic or intellectual value. Often times it is a place where the acquisition of money takes precedence over things like "inspiration" and reality of mortgage payments can loom over the heads of labourers who drag themselves through the rain and mud with a bitter resolve. Working a job in construction is not usually any person's idea of a dream job and sometimes it is a place where some dreams have truly come to die.  Although the job is not ideal, it pays the bills.

However, I believe creativity and intelligence can be found in the most unsuspecting places. These are not phenomena reserved solely for those who are considered to be "gifted". I am often inspired by the people at my work, whose stories are as diverse and complex as any books I have read in school. These are some of the ideas I want to explore in this blog.
