Un-inspiration

not everyday has to include inspiration.  realizing that reduces pressure... and expectations.  i usually write out of something inspiring...  something that jolts me into a feeling of gratitude, joy, or pain out of which comes out-of-the-box thoughts for me.

lately, that has not happened.  not that inspiration is absent, but perhaps i haven't been looking.  or wanting to look.  i start to blog about something and my interest quickly wanes. 

so today, i write about un-inspiration.  this is not a poor-me topic.  it is, however, one that happens occasionally.  whether it is a natural protection against too much mental stimulation/anxiety, pain, depression, or just boredom, 'uninspired' comes to live for awhile.

fighting it brings frustration.  it's not as if i can suddenly decide to get inspired.  the best response is to wait and allow the senses to work.  and eventually something i see, hear, etc., comes along and with it, inspiration.  i have learned to trust that.
