Oh, to be inspired...

Another wonderful Wordfull Wednesday, hosted by my favorite Chocolateer.

Happily, I gather inspiration from many ports. Usually it comes in small packages, a song, a scripture, a phone call, the infectious chuckle of my little one. I tuck them away in my spiritual belly, to fuel my energy and enthusiasm for the day. Admittedly, my 'feast' and 'famine' days can teeter heavily on one side before tottering back to the other. Balance is most often determined by my own attentions (do I see the mud on the shoes, or the smile on the face?). But I digress. The subject has been smartly narrowed down to a person or scene that inspire me (nothing religiously related, which is the clincher for me!)

My mother came to mind, as well as other mothers. Moms are great, especially mine. :) I was thinking of how great they all are - the work, the tears, the sacrifice, the love, the joy. I was truly being inspired by all the "portraits" of women flashing through my mind and was taken by surprise when my own popped up...huh, interesting. What a fantastic club Motherhood is! Anyway, I will save this subject for the upcoming day which celebrates our wonderfulness.

For now I choose a scene. This scene looks different for everyone, it may even have a distinct smell. The people in it change frequently, but the theme is as vast as it is constant. Rows of shelves are heavy with the burden of knowledge, adventure, imagination. Order reigns supreme, and whisper is the native language. Yes, it's the library.

Perhaps I am twisting the definition of "scene", but I see it clearly, and it brings a certain kind of inspiration to my life.
