Talent is everywhere and it’s a beautiful thing.

I love seeing people do their thing.

It’s like seeing the divine alive and kicking in the 3D.

It is an exquisite thing to witness and it brings me a level of peace and appreciation that I can barely describe.

Here are 10 of my faves from across many different generations and disciplines.
