Inspiration

September 2, 2020 By Lynne Leave a Comment

Recently, I saw a meme that stated,

“Waiting for inspiration to write is like standing at the airport waiting for a train.” 

That is a well stated fact. Although, I’m not really sure what is meant by inspiration on any given day.

My handy dictionary states that inspiration means:

  1. the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative.
  2. the drawing in of breath; inhalation.

I’ve stared at this for quite some time.  #1 makes perfect sense as that is what I’ve always taken inspiration to mean. 

But what the hell is #2 all about?  I’ve not really thought about breathing as inspiration.  My thought process is too literal for this.  Is the inspiration in the act or a result of the act?  Is inspiration an idea for a story or the whole flipping story?  This may be too deep for me today. I’m going to get some coffee and pet the dog.
