Inspiration comes in startling bursts. Sometimes it starts with a sunset on a cold, still morning or a warm, cozy evening by the fire. Often a shift of thought and a change of scenery can provide a much needed refocus. Unfamiliar places and faces often provoke a fresh wave of consciousness, and sometimes a simple phone call with an old friend provides the best renewal for a creative soul.
I've recently met a handful of people who have inspired me to start new projects and tell new stories.
I've recently spoken with a handful of old friends who have encouraged me to pursue my ambitions.
Of all the stories I write, my favorite tales are those that are well-hidden in plain sight; the common man who unknowingly compels those around him to try harder, the quiet woman who accomplishes more in a day than most people do in a week, the time worn experience that provides an invigorating outlook on life, or the horse that experiences relief and peace from a new home or a training break-through.
Whatever inspires you... whomever inspires you... the result is the same: dedicated work, fulfillment in life, joy in your day, and the ability to see beauty in all things.
Keep your eyes and mind open.
Look upon the world with love and see love.
And try not to get bucked off.
