Where do you seek inspiration in your daily life? How can you apply that inspiration to your writing? Does your inspiration guide your writing style? Does your writing style block your inspiration?

As the wind blows through the trees and the soft rustle trickles the vibratory waves down into the oceans floor and uplifts the shadowy depths; so do I allow myself to be a piece of this larger whole and remain open to the subtle chance of soul lifting moments. I am drawn to be a character of light more and more as I see the beauty of life within the settings I encounter traveling this great continent and earthly plane. The question is posed to me, 'where do you seek inspiration in your daily life?'. I respond that in each smiling child's eyes and within the laughter of the elderly, I find hope and inspiration. In the rolling hills and valleys of the White Mountains I am suspended in eager attunement of my body to my soul. I have found myself searching my memories lately for the life that I had when I made those images come to life. "Perhaps I have been burning the fuel so intensely this last year", I think to myself, "it is time to create some more fuel."

There is a pause here.

"I don't want to burn myself out. How DO I keep my inspiration so bright that I can keep it high in my writing?" My thoughts are wheels spinning like a train, full speed ahead.

I write with the flowing momentum of a river rushing onwards. I keep my mind open and just write. Type the buttons, look at the letters as they are formed almost as though I am meditating into the keyboard. Then I look up and read what I have written, almost as though for the first time. I feel this great inspiration drives me onwards, although it isn't so much inspiration as energy. Pure, loving energy pushing my fingers and freeing my heart to speak it's truth. Perhaps this writing style is one that might hinder others, it would confuse the analytical senses. For me it is ideal. Letting myself be freed into the moment I create is the beauty of the words that come from this space. Write for the love of life and the beauty of letting your hands become the words without always knowing what they may come out to be. There is always a way to express yourself, I am just glad I have found mine.
