Music of course, especially Bossanova anything from Brazil or with a latin groove, African dance and dun dun drumming from Guinea, the Griot culture, tabla drums, The artists way and Julia Camerons work, the angelic sound and make of an indian rosewood Collings guitar, the ocean and cliffs between Bondi and Bronte, Malcolm Gladwell and his progresive mind, Capoeira, songwriting, performing, singing, Gertrude and Alice, wandering the streets of NY and discovering coffee shops where i can seat myself!
