Painting Music

Inspiration is a flighty bird. I estimate that while I spend 50% of the time in a neutral state, 15% happy and 15% sad, 5% bored, and most of my time thinking, I am inspired only less than 1% of the time.

This afternoon, I was feeling inspired.

And here are some of the words to say before they're lost-

I think being alone is quite vital to the thinking and reflecting process. When you don't get distracted by things that other people are doing, when you can hear your thoughts loud and clear, when it's just you and the world. The wide, vast world which I'll never finish discovering in my lifetime.

Sometimes, I think that the world is a wonderful place.

Sometimes, I search for someone in this wonderful world who'd be able to tell me,

that it's miraculous to be alive, much less be alive and here talking to me

each moment is unique; it only comes once, so treasure the experience

how many countries that pencil has been to before I bought it

how many years did the tree live before it became paper (a stack goes for a dollar)

what sound the leaves make as they fall

the tune of the flowers' serenade when in full bloom

why the rain falls

where my tears go to when they dry up

how many colours there are in my favourite song

the greatest joy in life, and what to be thankful for

and of course, that the world's a wonderful place.
