Lake Como | Italy

It seems as though everyone in life needs inspiration, an incentive to do great in the world. Though we may not realize it now, it is not the material things that give us this inspiration. It is the beauty and magnificence surrounding us that truly inspires our hearts. While standing on the balcony of the Villa Balbianello, I can honestly say I was inspired, inspired to let people know of the beauty in this world - much like a poet would be to inspire people with the beauty of their words. With Lake Como stretched out in front of me and the mountains behind climbing into the sky, the scene itself became a story, a poem of sublime majesty and beauty, written by the greatest poet the world has ever known.
