Inspired

Inspiration is something that can happen once in a lifetime, occasionally, or for the fortunate, often.
It has been defined as a process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, a sudden, brilliant, creative or timely idea.
When one becomes inspired then what?  A flurry of activity?  Introspection, careful consideration,
planning or overwhelming responsibility?  Is it spontaneous, contagious, does it turn ones thoughts from
other driving forces in life?  Certainly inspiration is never quite the same, nor would creative efforts ever have the same result.  This is what makes us individual and unique!  It is a beautiful thing, that one thought could inspire two or more individuals in entirely different ways.
I believe that if we embrace a thought and then set it free to be, it will return educated, nourished and divinely aware, but the creative process to act upon a thought is unwritten.
If we set our hearts and minds to be open, inspiration happens.
