Inspiration is a tricky thing to navigate.

It would be handy to be able to summon it at will to do my bidding so I could function more effectively as a creative, but that’s not the reality we live in. Inspiration comes and goes as it pleases, and for that reason, I respect it. Every time I manage to wrangle away just a moment of this essential essence, I can feel the fundamental stuff of the universe.

I’m aware how fleeting it is to be in the grip of this force, so I try and make sure I’m always available to receive the call. This can make for nonstop anticipation without any sort of payoff, but that is the trade. For glimpses of the infinite, we must trade some of the finite time we get. I continue to consider myself incredibly fortunate to be able to live a life where I am available to take this call.

I feel inspiration in the air today and I intend to put it to good use.
