Observation: Springboard of Inspiration
"Rain isn't just water in the desert, it is a religious experience.
It is life's nourishment."
(Coffey).
When a clerk asks,
"How's your day?" and you answer back "Great, how's yours?" Be open to observe the richness of that person's life unfolding before you. Even the crowded streets
are more than the impersonal masses in a hurry to a destination. Close
scrutiny of the crowd reveals individuals: each with a story, and each with a mission,
each driven by a deadline.
Observation
is the springboard to inspiration, experience it. Use it. Make it the first step in the outline of a blog, story, poem, or journal. Take what you see to another level. Transform what seems mundane to the magical or mystical. Write about how you felt when you were observing. Sing about the music you heard. Snap the moment that brought inspiration to
you, print it, and pass it on.
