What
is inspiration? The dictionary give an uninspiring definition for
inspiration. One of the online dictionaries say it has to do with mental
stimulation which results in creating a painting or a poem.
That is a beautiful scientific answer, but it doesn't satisfy the soul.
It doesn't satisfy the poet in me. I could meditate all day on the
subject and come up with an answer
that only inspires me, but I don't know if it would be inspiring to
someone else. Maybe each poet, artist, or novelist has to find his or
her own inspiring definition of inspiration.
God's word inspires
The individual to take
Personal responsibility
I
find inspiration in God's word for many of my poems and stories. I
suspect that's where most of my inspiration comes from because I can
write easier when I pray, read the sacred scriptures, and meditate.
Thinking about the scientific definition of inspiration you could say
that reading the scriptures stimulates my mind to write poetry and
stories. I think that inspiration goes deeper than my brain or mind. I think the scriptures stimulate my soul which inturn stimulates my mind.
