It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated
I do have an "Ah- Ha" moment very often, but I don't always write down those ideas, and they get lost...I've read somewhere that we should ALWAYS write them down because inspiration goes away very quickly, but I don't seem to learn... :)
ReplyDeleteSonja - I read this in a creative magazine somewhere - We should always keep a notebook with a pen nearby ... Nightstand, living room, kitchen etc ... Whenever we think of an idea write it down before it goes away ... I am trying to do this ... Let's try to do this - Together!
ReplyDeleteI'm in! It's time to change some bad habits :)
ReplyDeleteOk, Sonja - We need to do this together - Push ourselves to be better and more creative! Cheers to a "Soul Sister" Inter-Friend-tion :)
