The Process

Can you even put a face on who or what inspires you?

*If you're not being inspired then you have probably made yourself unavailable to the process of influence itself.

We know influence can be good. Can't we thank the divine inspiration of God using multiple vessels to give us the greatest book ever written?

As my pastor related this last week, it's about "submitting yourself to the process." And the process in this context is being available to be inspired. Inspiration defined is an outside stimulus, such as a person or work of art, that moves the intellect or emotions or prompts action or invention.

Translation: As creative beings, we are predominantly so through osmosis.

We glean know-how and innovation from other know-how-ers and innovators.

Raise your hand if you know someone suffering from creative inertia because of an unwillingness to be inspired. Of course the process can be risky but didn't Mama tell you nothing comes free and easy in this world?

Thought-provoking. Sensory-stimulating. Dream-encouraging. Go find everything and anyone that remotely fits the 3 aforementioned adjectives and be friends with it/him/her now.
