Martin
Glaser, a legendary New York graphic designer famous for creating the ‘I Love
New York’ logo, recently spoke about something that’s dear to my heart. He said, “If you can sustain your interest in
what you’re doing, you’re an extremely fortunate person. What you see very frequently in people’s
professional lives, and perhaps in their emotional life as well, is that they
lose interest in the third act. You sort
of get tired, and indifferent, and sometimes, defensive and you kind of lose your
capacity for astonishment, and that’s a great loss, because the world is a very
astonishing place.”
I guess
you’d say I’m in the third act of my life.
I still find wonder in observing nature, seeing the cloud formations
before a storm, and getting up early to watch the sun rise over the misty
waters of the Chattahoochee River.
The
overflow of being astonished with life is expressed through my art, my
friendships, and the general way that I conduct my business.
I agree
with Martin Glaser, the world is a very astonishing place! - Jill Saur
