A fix for inspiration

If you’re feeling uninspired, go back to the well.

You just have to know what “the well” is. It’s different for everyone.

For some, it’s solitude; for others, time with friends.

For some, it’s nature; for others, an urban landscape.

For some, it’s the work of the masters; for others, it’s clumsily trying something new.

It can come from sitting in quiet meditation, and it can come from vigorous movement.

Impatience will not help. Most often, inspiration comes unexpectedly … while we’re engaged with the practice. That is, we often have to take the first step.

Identify the well. Go there.
