My Thots

Inspiration. Where does it come from?

Sometimes I know exactly where my ideas come from and other times I swear I am channeling them through my fingers because I don’t have a clue until I start typing.

I have to admit that I have an overactive imagination. My mind comes up with stories about things I didn’t know I was interested in sometimes and even when I’m asleep it keeps on going.

Inspiration, like everything else, is not all the same quality. I wish it was. I wish there was some formula for reaching my Muse and coming up with quality ideas, but everything has its time.

I just received a phone call from a friend who has a history of extraordinary performances and gifts followed by a period of what appears to have been transition because now his time has come again. His world is once more filling up with concerts and projects that are both inspired and inspirational.

I guess it goes back to my ideas of waves. This way is an amazing place, never stationary, always ebbing and flowing. When it’s bad I think this too shall pass.

But when it’s good I am so glad I just hung in there! There is a fine line between not letting expectations get in the way of what is happening and not having hope and I hope I never forget that.

Inspiration, maybe it’s just knowing how to ask for it?
