What does it mean to be inspired. Inspiration is defined as a divine influence or action on a person believed to qualify him or her to receive and communicate sacred revelation. (MirriamWebsterDictionary) I have heard people say that life is uninspiring that its dull and drab. But Inspiration is everywhere as long as you take the time to stop and look for it. I find that Inspiration is something that can come at anytime, it doesn't care whether your driving in a car, listening to music that touches your soul, or looking at a statue that speaks to your inner creativity. I remember the first time I really felt "inspired", I was sitting in a class I hated Intro to graphic design. It wasn't that I hated the graphic design class itself. I hated the class because the teacher was heinously evil, at least she was in my mind. I was flipping through our book looking at each picture and then I saw it . . . A statue made out of rock carved into a mountain side with a pond and flowers at its feet. I fell in love with it imagining being in Tuscany staring up at the mysterious man carved into the rock and feeling creative, inspired, alive again. I don't know how many times i flipped back to that picture but it was because of the picture I was able to go back and draw again. The statue is called Apennine by Giambologna, it is located in Tuscany, Italy and resides in Demidoff Park. (Picture Above) Every time I look at this statue and picture inspiration swirls around me. What inspires you? Do you have a song, a picture, something that gets your creative juices going? Today I entered the WOW winter fast fiction contest. After editing provided by my mother (retired English teacher.) I sent in my submission shaky and weary of what is to come. My story I will post in a future blog after the contest is over. But I started to think about what inspired me to write the story for the contest and I realized I got my inspiration from a song which is also the song of the day Nickleback's Savin Me.
As you can see I draw my inspiration from everything and hope that soon more people will do the same because without inspiration we would all be drones in a sea of familiarity and structure lacking the special uniqueness society has to keep for everyone to be individually free.
