You are a mystery. I find you in the strangest of places and usually when least expected.
'Relax, empty your mind and I will appear' you tell me. I roll my eyes, but I know you are right.
Sometimes I find you in an ordinary experience.
Often I find you when I'm laughing. And when you wake me in the night, we get up and go jotting together.
Remember that time I found you in a book?
You're sometimes there in the car, or hiding in the lyrics of a song, perhaps scribbled on a wall, or in a fuzzy memory. I've heard of people finding inspiration in the toilet. I'm afraid that's not me. I'm never in there long enough (more focused on emptying my bladder than my mind). And you do have a rather annoying habit of being brilliant, right in the midst of a walk or run when I have no pen or paper or recording device of any sort. I cut my run short, sprint home, and hope you've kept up behind me.
I don't know what inspired me to thank you, dear inspiration, but I want you to know I'm truly grateful for your guest appearances.
Love from Jo xxx
