Where does inspiration come from I wonder? I hope it's a feeling you've all felt on occasion, but for me, it's necessary I have the feeling on a daily basis. Is it possible to conjure it up? Or does it just come to you in a flash?

Last night I had a beautiful dream all about that inspirational feeling. It was a silly scene. I was given an opportunity to have my art on the cover of a major magazine. In the dream I saw this photo they wanted to shoot for the cover, just a blank spot. Immediately I had this overwhelming feeling of excitement and I knew at once that I would be able to provide the art they wanted. It was a flash of "knowing" and inspiration that came upon me. The feeling that I COULD easily do that! Perhaps inspiration is just an immediate realization that you CAN do something and you NEED to act NOW!

I don't know, I think I'll go with the more mysterious version of inspiration coming from some "special" place in the universe. One where we are merely the messenger, harnessing the uplifting energy for the power to create something. Well whatever it is, I do know that it's a real high to experience.
