When inspiration strikes

Waiting for inspiration is a trap.

We show up and do the work whether or not we feel inspired. That’s part of the practice.

But when inspiration does present itself — like an unexpected state of flow — you hold onto it. Not casually, but intentionally … with white knuckles like you’re headed into a turn on a roller coaster.

We’re not always inspired. But sometimes, inspiration arrives as a timely gift. Ride it where it takes you.
