Artistic inspiration is an interesting thing. Sometimes I’m on a roll and then other times, say after surgery in the middle of a Nebraska winter, I’m a little less than inspired. There are days where the internal urge to create is so squelched that I wonder if a little spark will ever return. And then I’m reminded, just do it. Emotions can follow actions. Pick up that pen, or start typing, or grab the camera and get to work.

There are still realities to deal with. My left arm is still sore and tender. My energy levels aren’t up to par. It’s still winter. Still winter. Still winter. But if I ignore all that for a few minutes, I can find light coming through the west kitchen window, casting odd shadows upon the walls and reflecting against the pilsner glasses I gave Jeremy for Christmas. I question if I like the image enough to put it on my site, question its composition and coloring. But at the end of the day, I like it.

And today, liking something is reason enough to share it.
