It's a funny thing really, inspiration.. Although I gained insight in how I can stay inspired, it's still largely a mystery to me how inspiration comes and goes and maybe it is better that way. Slowing down is always a big one for me. But the biggest lesson for me has been accepting there is a time for everything. Times of overflowing ideas and times of organising and conserving. The challenge is to trust inspiration will return, it always does.
Nice work in progress! And those are good words for us all to remember. After all, we can't force inspiration. We have to wait until it comes to us.

VerwijderenI'm beginning to feel you can't force ANYTHING. That sort of depressed me for a bit, but I am a big girl, I know how to turn the tables. So, now I try and put the time I have to "wait" to good use (which can be anything, from drawing to chatting with loved ones to sipping a coffee in the sun, to sleeping). It's all one can do, really.
