I attended a spiritual "retreat" last weekend. I've been there many times and it is easy to get in a rut. I penned this poem at the beginning as I sought to reach out with an open heart.
I’ve done this thing so many times. The first was so inspiring. Each time increases the distance and can become so tiring. I can’t create inspiration. It’s given me as a gift but if it is not nurtured it can lose it’s upward lift. Everything that is of value must be used or it goes away. So we must remember often and invest time when we pray. I start this weekend once again aware that it can really make a new impression on my heart and my apathy it will shake. Open now this vessel, Lord, and excite my soul again. They’ve rung the opening bell and I’m ready to begin.

Inspiration is like an electric eel, you can't hold it, it will slip away the harder you try, and suddenly it will give you a mighty jolt to tell you that inspiration comes and goes as she pleases!

I can�t create inspiration.
It�s given me as a gift
but if it is not nurtured
it can lose it�s upward lift.

So true, Larry. Use it or lose it! Thanks for sharing. Love and peace,

October Illness

I sat outside a store and became aware of the flower pots in front the store and I thought how it must feel about the attention given to the flowers.
