So here's a piece of the puzzle: inspiration equals stimulation. Creativity equals expression. First we have to sense, then we can express what was sensed.

Stimulation, Expression
Continuing to examine the idea of inspiration and where it comes from, this week it seems there are answers all around. Every kind of desert wildflower is blossoming, from asters to desert zinnias. Perhaps the most beautiful of all are cactus flowers. It seems such a mystery to me that the most prickly and dangerous of desert plants offers the most gorgeous flowers.
Cactus flowers stimulate several senses at once: Sight, smell, touch (silky petals contrasted with spines), even sound (buzzing of bees).
So here's a piece of the puzzle: inspiration equals stimulation. Creativity equals expression. First we have to sense, then we can express what was sensed.
