Quote from Inspiration Line7/2/07 I
learned... that inspiration does not come like a bolt, nor is it kinetic, energetic,
striving, but it comes to us slowly and quietly and all the time, though we must
regularly and every day give it a little chance to start flowing, prime it with
a little solitude and idleness."

great successful men of the world have used their imagination ... think ahead
and create their mental picture in all it details, filling in here, adding a little
there, altering this a bit and that a bit, but steadily building-steadily building.

Robert H. Schuller The
tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing
that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity ... and some
scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is
imagination itself.

brave enough to live creatively. The creative is the place where no one else has
ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness
of your intuition. You can't get there by bus, only by hard work, risking, and
by not quite knowing what you're doing. What you'll discover will be wonderful:
yourself.
— Alan Alda The
creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play
instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects
it loves.

we create.

is important to do what you don't know how to do. It is important to see your
skills as keeping you from learning what is deepest and most mysterious. If you
know how to focus, unfocus. If your tendency is to make sense out of chaos, start
chaos.

better, more insightful work. Maybe once or twice in a lifetime you will be recognized
with the kudos of the public, so in the meantime, create for yourself.
