Inspiration is perishable; it has a built-in expiration date. So, perhaps it's our only task then, as writers: to elongate that space in between. To nourish what needs to be nourished. In this way we get "qualified" to receive and communicate sacred revelation....." This is great! I was actually thinking of inspiration the other day. How for a while I had lost my inspiration for writing and now I have it again. You really have it make sense. Inspiration can be gone in a minute, and if you hold on to it tight as soon as we get it, and dont let it go, we will succeed. Writing takes work but there is a balance between work and just letting it come to you, and then letting it goo when writing. :)Writer Yogihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17139040682391594581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4399027951667334371.post-36751618799888894622012-04-29T13:07:47.126-07:002012-04-29T13:07:47.126-07:00Thank you Ela.

Perhaps the space in between is where learning happens and connections are made.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05774112046752150254noreply@blogger.com
