Photographer Annie Leibowitz remarks about someone sitting and waiting for inspiration. A familiar scene. But where does inspiration come from? And where should we look for it?
Inspiration is a whimsical traveler, showing up unannounced and often when least expected. Is it something we can chase, or does it find us? It’s an enigma – unpredictable and elusive. Can we seek inspiration, or is it about being in the right place at the right time?
Maybe the secret lies in the ordinary. Inspiration might be hiding in daily life – a leaf swirling in the wind, an overheard conversation, a memory flashing by. It’s in nature’s quiet moments, the stories people tell, and the depths of our own experiences. It’s about observing, living fully, and letting those ordinary moments speak to us.
Instead of waiting for inspiration, let’s be open to it. It’s all around us, in the mundane and the magnificent. What if inspiration is not lost but patiently waiting for us to notice?
