Source of Inspiration

I was reading a reflection this morning that totally hit home. The writer was saying that as artists, we all receive inspiration from the Divine Source... from something outside of ourselves. It's like we are a satellite dish, and we receive a brilliant idea or some creative flash... but it is then up to us to put it into motion, to give it life... And the scary thing is... if we don't do it... if we dilly-dally... and let it sit and don't do anything with it... then someone else will!!! It's no coincidence that similar things are discovered and created by people in different places on this planet... They are all tuned into the Divine Source... and if one doesn't jump with an idea... then the other person will... We are the creative arm of the universe... and there are all sorts of things out there waiting to be born... and we are called to birth them... to give life to them...

The only question is.... when that brilliant idea hits us... what do we do with it? Do we fob it off... or do we grab it, give thanks for it and run with it?? We have the choice...
