Have you ever looked around and saw something that has been there for a very long time,
but then for that moment you see it in a whole different light for some reason. It could be
something really small like a decorative vase or a potted plant, maybe even a decorative
pen and pencil holder.
That’s what happened to me as I was sitting here at my computer thinking about things and
as I was thinking my eyes seemed to have some sort of mind of its own and started to wander
around the room slowly looking at the things that are around me as if it everything was new.
Then all of a sudden you get a spark of inspiration just at that moment that you set your eyes
on one item almost as if you were looking at it for the first time.
For some reason you can’t take your eyes off of it, your gaze seems to be locked in at that
moment as you study with great interest all the little details and colors that you haven’t seen
before. All at the same time thinking to yourself ‘why only now do I see the things that I see’
or ‘why only now is it interesting to me’.
I think that in our moments of deep and quiet thinking or pondering are we able to be inspired
and see things in a whole new way like when you flip on a light switch in a room, everything
comes alive not only for our eyes but for our heart and mind to see as well.
Inspiration comes in many forms and in many ways. For everyone it’s very different,
sometimes it’s the unusual things that inspire us and sometimes it’s at the most unusual time
too! It’s a good idea to make a mental note (or a physical note if you are someone that needs
to write things down) of the item/s, time of day and even the location of something that has
set your mind in motion of inspiration.
Until Next Time,
