Spontaneous Inspiration 02/18/24.
What is the inspiration by which you’re inspired? A Yøūñg mind asked me once when I was tired and wandering by the sea.
My response may not have been that he desired, but I told the truth as required anyway.
From his look, one would think dude just got fired from a job for which his was hired.
Before I continued with the rest of my answer, he said stop; now let me think. Maybe you should get some rest; from the look of things, now seems not the time for this reasoning.
Without one blink, I said, “wait young lad, you can’t shut me off because of what you think. Folks like you are the true source of my inspiration if I’m to think of it.”
He asked, “what made you say that?” Then I explained; “had you gone on your way and not intervened in my day, I would have probably fallen asleep on this sandy bay or just be here wishing on passing birds wings in hope of better days.”
He ask that I further explain. Now my mind is at work, I’m fully inspired because on the fly I’m creating his answers. Dude seemed baffled, like a deer in the headlights. Realizing he was lost after all this long talk, I said to him, “let’s make this short;
Engagement is the best inspirational source.
It serves to dig and extract beyond the day to day stuff, thus stimulating our creative thoughts.”
He then nodded his head and said to me, “that’s exactly what I thought.”
My last words to him at this point were as loud as the Smile this conversation brought.
