Finding Inspiration

When inspiration leaves you how do you get it back? Or better yet, when what wonderful lance of inspiration still harbors itself inside your consciousness is unfortunately not nurtured. What then? It most likely is your own fault, or maybe it isn't. Circumstances happen in life that sometimes curve your attention elsewhere, places that are not conducive to a creative atmosphere. Maybe lack of focus is the culprit and you .... ONLY YOU!!!! is to blame. Well, what do you do and where do you go from here? Someone once told me that "you can't afford to wait for inspiration to come, so you'd better just make something or suffer the consequences.", or something to that effect. My next piece will meditate on that. Hope it comes out OK. Whoever reads this, I do wish this was a happier entry, one that gives and inspires instead of presenting an obstacle. But its just not time for one of those. Feel free to let me know thoughts on inspiration or the lack of. Laters.
