Inspiration


Photo by SPBM

Stung by the splendor of a sudden thought.
-Robert Browning

The greatest inspiration is often born of desperation.
-Comer Cotrell

The torpid artist seeks inspiration at any cost, by virtue or by vice, by friend or by fiend, by prayer or by wine.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Here is the secret of inspiration: Tell yourself that thousands and tens of thousands of people, not very intelligent and certainly no more intelligent than the rest of us, have mastered problems as difficult as those that now baffle you.
-William Feather

The Lonely Bird Does Fly

Some instagrams taken the past couple of days. This photo so matched a prose I wrote in 2007, that I felt the need to post them together. I don't like posting my poems or proses on the Internet, but they just seem to go so perfectly together.

The Lonely Bird Does Fly

early dawn
and the lonely bird does fly across
an empty sky
carrying secrets from the night
here to there
wondering
asking why
questions
no one answers
the sky is empty

“There are no extra pieces in the universe. Everyone is here because he or she has a place to fill, and every piece must fit itself into the big jigsaw puzzle.”

“If you want to reach a state of bliss, then go beyond your ego and the internal dialogue. Make a decision to relinquish the need to control, the need to be approved, and the need to judge. Those are the three things the ego is doing all the time. It's very important to be aware of them every time they come up.”

“The secret of attraction is to love yourself. Attractive people judge neither themselves nor others. They are open to gestures of love. They think about love, and express their love in every action. They know that love is not a mere sentiment, but the ultimate truth at the heart of the universe.”

When Night Comes

Pictures I took with my iPhone tonight. The full moon was beautiful!

I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day.
