Finding Inspiration

It's quite public knowledge that I've been working on a series of books for awhile now. This post is purely me writing just to write. I'm low on inspiration. Sometimes I come up with my most brilliant writing through just that...writing. By sometimes writing about absolutely nothing. When I'm trying to be inspired is usually when inspiration is furthest away. It's funny how that works.

When we are pushing so hard for something we are really just pushing it further away. I'm beginning to see that it works like that in most areas of our lives. Maybe it's because through wanting something we have created its void. What if instead we were thankful for whatever it is we are 'wanting', even without having acquired it yet. What if we say "Thank you!" and go about our days as usual. I bet we would be pleasantly surrounded with whatever we are craving. Like say...Inspiration. Hmm...I've written a few profound 'Komments' already. Imagine that.

It snowed last night...well, it's still snowing and is supposed to until tomorrow morning. I'm amazed that something so beautiful and pure can cause such chaos and danger. However, this chaos and danger is more caused by our reactions and actions during this lovely snowy time. How often do we take something beautiful and pure and turn it into chaos? Think about that for a second....

We have already used our winter wonderland as an example. What about the Ocean? It's beautiful. Then we have to add our water bottles, candy wrappers...and not to mention those damn oil spills. Maybe that's why it retaliates with such brutal storms. We both know that's not really why, but if the ocean had a soul, I bet it would act the same way. Maybe worse. I'm not a humanitarian or a tree hugger, by any means. But we really should take care of what's so graciously been entrusted to us. Our families, our homes, our bodies...so on and so forth.

Speaking of our bodies. Why do we think they ache so much as we age? Think about all the crud we put in our bodies. It's a bit nauseating. Is arthritis really just our bodies revolting?

Yes, I know. I'm an odd one. Yet, here you sit reading my odd thoughts. Hmm.

I'll leave you on that note, since I've found the inspiration I was (not) wanting.
