Inspiration Aside


Yesterday, you were inspired.
Today, that is all gone.
And so, you are depressed.

But this is the way the system works: Everything begins with inspiration.
Then the inspiration steps aside
—to make room for you to do something with it.

For fire to become deeds.

getting out of our own way
some are pipelines, others are mules. most, i imagine, fit in the latter category, save for some rare moments of lucidity. there is great wisdom and humility in not seeing yourself as a source of creative inspiration but simply a vessel through which it moves so that it may find some expression.

thank you for this.

shalom!

Inspiration aside
God is my inspiration in life. He is the one who doesn't let me depressed because he makes my faith to be strong whatever tragedy, sadness, loneliness, despair and other emotions occur in my life. Being a woman of love and peace, God is always on your side.
