It's been raining in my corner of Texas for almost a full week. I stayed up until seven this morning. It thundered all night last night. Our forth of July was a magical-- no, whimsical one. Our neighbors, who are usually very uneventful or patriotic, sent of fireworks in almost every shape and colour last night. The whistles and pops mixed with occasional thunder left me feeling inspired.
This morning I took the dog for a walk. The rain was still trickling from my roof and splattering against our pavement. The grass soaked my jeans. We have miniature frogs hopping everywhere this year; I refuse to have our lawn mowed for their sake. We have a lemon tree in our front yard. I've only seen it bloom and produce lemons once, which was two years ago; it's been nearly dormant since. Today it flourished. The colours outside seemed vibrant and alive decorated with rain drops. Even the rocks beneath the tree were ivory and clean. When it rains in Texas is one of the most inspiring things for me. What most inspires you? It can be an event, a person, a place, a memory, the weather, or a book. |

Beautiful post.
Your post is inspiring. My friends inspire me. Music inspires me. Watching a beautiful sunset. It's been raining a lot here as well, might sound weird, but when I'm out jogging, the rain inspires me to run that extra mile. There are so many things that inspires me. Going to see a theater production inspires me a lot. Going to a voice recital or dance recital is also inspiring. I heard this guy play the entire "Rhapsody In Blue" on the piano, and omg, that was def inspiring. It made me want to start taking lessons again. I find inspiration in so many different ways and places, it's incredibly hard to just pick one aspect of how inspiration comes. |
