‡Let Inspiration Find You‡
When we are deep within our selves such as during mediation, prayer, communing with our higher aspects, etc… we are transplanted into a void darkness that feels to me like a sacred womb where we can access all. We can submerge within the void with a intention for knowledge, inspiration, direction, guidance, etc… and emerge from it refreshed with insight that sometimes is Johnny~on~the~spot and sometimes is revealed in stages. We can also have great experiences in the void with no agenda so to speak, and just see what comes up.
This blog post is about inspiration. When I photographed Steve practicing his guitar, he just happened to have his Crush shirt on. From there later on the idea came into my awareness “Crush in the Dark” as a blog post title and accompanying poem.
~~~~~~~~~
May we all meet up with Inspiration that is the winged fuel to carry us to heightened states of Soul in action, well being, and provide a sense of accomplishment and purpose
Let’s be open to inspiration arriving at any moment ~ let’s stop, listen, and attune to the Great Spirit indwelling and pay homage to this voice with follow through in spirit guided direction

⊗inspiration that finds you in a spontaneous moment

Artistic Inspiration
“Inspiration (from the Latin inspirare, meaning “to breathe into”) is an unconscious burst of creativity in a literary, musical, or other artistic endeavour. The concept has origins in both Hellenism and Hebraism. The Greeks believed that inspiration or “enthusiasm” came from the muses, as well as the gods Apollo and Dionysus. Similarly, in the Ancient Norse religions, inspiration derives from the gods, such as Odin. Inspiration is also a divine matter in Hebrew poetics. In the Book of Amos the prophet speaks of being overwhelmed by God’s voice and compelled to speak. In Christianity, inspiration is a gift of the Holy Spirit.”
A few Ancient models of inspiration
“In Greek thought, inspiration meant that the poet or artist would go into ecstasy or furor poeticus, the divine frenzy or poetic madness. He or she would be transported beyond his own mind and given the gods’ or goddesses own thoughts to embody.”
“In Christianity, inspiration is a gift of the Holy Spirit. Saint Paul said that all scripture is given by inspiration of God (2 Timothy) and the account of Pentecost records the Holy Spirit descending with the sound of a mighty wind. This understanding of “inspiration” is vital for those who maintain Biblical literalism, for the authors of the scriptures would, if possessed by the voice of God, not “filter” or interpose their personal visions onto the text. For church fathers like Saint Jerome, David was the perfect poet, for he best negotiated between the divine impulse and the human consciousness.”
