Title: The Inspiration Thread
Post by: Gopher on Sep 12 07 12:02
Somewhere for us to record the things that inspire us.

I'm not sure how to say this without sounding like a total drip.  But here goes.

  I'm always inspired by nature.  And if you've become complacent about the big picture.....start looking at the little things.  Like how a spider rolls up his web the day before a rain, or watching bees going from flower to flower.  They're so busy.....always busy.  I like watching the pattern that the waves make on the sand when they ebb.

  Watching a dogs 'expressions' when they are playing with their masters in the park always makes me happy .......to see how eager they are to please.... they seem to have some inside knowledge about friendship.  

  On a more mudane level, a day of organizing always makes me feel creative.

My guy called me this morning (but I missed the call) telling me that I'm gorgeous and that he loves me. :)))  It was a nice romantic surprise.

  I feel happy and inspired.

Nice purelife.

  I'm curious as to what kind of inspiration Gophie is seeking.  Ispiration to do what ?  Are you lacking in motivation or inspiration.  After my last lengthy post, I started to wonder.

I probably didn't give a correct inspirational answer.  Hope you don't mind, Gophie.

i get inspiration from music and reading history books about movements and such and ideas.

  I wouldn't call that inspiration pl more of "made my day category and you become super happy about the day and life etc."

  oh gosh I'm sounding like I'm in sociology class. lol

 PC I should kiss you for this, but as I can't, you'll have to make do with a  cyber blessing.

A cyber kiss wouldn't hurt any either.  [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="vny!://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/c032.gif" border=0]

  I suppose inspiration comes to each of us differently.....but nature never fails me.  There's a world of beauty out there....sometimes it's easy to miss it when we get wrapped up in our woes.

You're so right and it really ISthe little things:

  Crush not the fragile flowers

In over-zealous passion,

For love with haste may overlook

The spelndour of the leaves -

And love of flowers just deceives.

And love of ostenation is

A thing without perception,

Not understanding

Seeing only obvious being.

Hidden 'neath the trumpet blast,

The drums, the fire, the screaming,

Hides the beauty unseen yet -

And worldy eyes with ease forget.

I'm inspired by lots of things.  On a big level: by the trinity- mostly the holy spirit.
 
 On an everyday level, I'm inspired by nature, the kindness of people, and hearing live music.
 
 And I'm also a big sucker for motivational speakers and self-help books.
 (Purpose Driven Life, Seven Habits, Rick Hansen, Terry Fox)

I think inspiration comes from something we take solice in and comfort in. Also something we gravitate towards, whether it be an idea, place, person or thing.

 ..............

 Rather than being a thing we take solace and comfort in, I always find that inspiration is first and foremost uplifting.

Hep me Gophie.......I need inspiration.  I'm feeling a little agitated today.[img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="vny!://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/verschiedene/a084.gif" border=0]

I would help you with pleasure PC - but for the fact that I must go away pronto! Think of... or ... it usually does the trick, and if it doesn't there's always ....  Best of luck. See ya soon.

Hey Gophie (and anyone else looking for inspiration)  (I just did) ......if you have a moment.....turn on your speakers softly and have a read.

Beautiful PC, I was all geared up to help you, but now find I don't need to. I can't compete with flowers.
