Inspired

Inspiration is like free spins at the pokies. It that makes you invincible for awhile. You can do anything, go anywhere, and you have nothing to fear.
Those free spins exist in real life too. It may be a picture, or some words, or a sound, or a idea, or a mistake, or a moment. Whatever it is, pick it up and run with it. Run with it like you stole it.
You can’t bottle up inspiration. You can’t put it in a Glad bag, chuck it in the freezer, and dig it out later. It’s instantly perishable if you don’t utilise it whilst it’s fresh…
It’s true. I do my best to accommodate inspiration when it shows up. Fortunately, I get inspired easily. Unfortunately, it’s rare that I have time to exlore what I am inspired about. I’m still trying to work out what to do about that.
But those moments of inspiration are like gold.
This last week has been a series of inspirations, starting from the high ropes.
Climbing 15m up a tree and then leveraging myself, my whole still fairly large self, onto a little platform, and then jumping off it......wow. First of all the adrenalin thing was amazing. So similar to the post birtth hormone rush, it was incredible.
Then since then, daily, as soon as my mind tells me "I can't", I can hear myself immediately say, to myself, "Shit Luce, if you can jump out of a tree, I am damn sure you can resist a chocolate biscuit."
