The Other Road

The Other Road
Part 2 of 3
Yesterday I left the blog with us walking down a road of preparedness.  We talked about study, being the expert in your field and, quite frankly, it sounded like a lot of work.
But sometimes the other road comes in, and when Inspiration crossed Preparation some magical things happen.  The universe (inside your mind and body mostly, but elsewhere as well) flips and turns so that things flow into your direction.  Suddenly the poem flows effortlessly from your pen.  Without notice the oils shape themselves on your canvas in a way that all you can do is stand back and stand amazed.  For one unbelievable day, or evening the Universe conspires to create something fantastic by your hand.
And the next morning, it is gone, and you return to your work and creating by sweat.
Have you experienced that crossroad marvel?  If you have, it is an experience that you are always trying to get back to.

Tomorrow I’ll share with you a map…
