What Else Inspires Me To Write ( blog 14th September 2013 re-edited)

Dear Friends and Avid Readers

As some of you may be aware, I am caught up in personal matters/issues at the present moment and so my creative mind has temporarily shut down - preventing me from producing new blogs. For the time being, I shall be regurgitating old articles to keep you amused. Also, if anyone missed any of my blogs the first time around, it gives everyone (and new readers) a chance to read it again:-

What Else Inspires Me To Write

Nature inspires me; I might see something that excites my spirit and I am compelled to write:-

I was walking through my local park one day and I noticed that throughout the gardens, there were patches where wild plants had grown. 

If fact, they had sprouted so ferociously, that they towered above the flowers and shrubs already bedded there. I had to stop and admire their boldness, their determination, their tenacity and perseverance in finding a patch of soil in which to grow. They dared to flourish tall amongst the hierarchy of refined flowers and plants. I admired how they confidently displayed their beauty. And indeed, they flowed and danced so gracefully with the wind, you could not tell weeds from potted foliage. They were all equally beautiful. I admired how they took any opportunity to be seen and be noticed. Well, it worked; I was compelled to get out my mobile phone and take some pictures. And the more I took pictures, the more of these wild flowers I saw. I just carried on clicking. I saw beauty everywhere. 

These wild plants had achieved their objectives. They seized the opportunity; they grew confidently tall and were noticed. They made it into my article and many people will be reading this story.

I aspire to take a lesson from them. We should all aspire to seize any opportunity to grow, to Be, to make a difference, and to achieve all our goals - because there is always a space out there for each and every one of us to make it happen.

And you know what, I bet if every time you wrote something down that moved you, by the end of the year, you would have written a beautiful book.

Did anything move you today?  Happy writing!
