This is an interesting post. In your books, do you connect beauty and inspiration?
Thank you, for the wonderful question, Sioban. I do think that when we allow ourselves to contemplate the beautiful, we are taking ourselves to the state of connection with spirit. This is a sure and easy path to allow ourselves to feel connected to everything and all that is, which is our God nature. Sustaining this state of awareness puts us in a place to receive inspiration, starts the creative juices flowing. When we are connected to all of creation, we become creation and are moved to express creatively.
I think that usually my poems express a state where everything is coming together into such a flow. My trilogy of novels also, follows the main character as she is able to appreciate and express this more and more until finally, she is living from it. Byron’s “she walks in beauty like the night” is the perfect example of a character that learns to live as the creative force, in a state of inspiration. My third novel, Shadow Dancing, portrays the main character moving beyond her own shadow to fully embrace her own beauty and live from it. Seen from the broad pallet of the trilogy of novels, this character has come a long way from allowing life to happen to her, to creating a life expressed as her own highest potential.

Another inspiring post. I agree that contemplating the beautiful is a wonderful way to release creative energy and connect us to everything. Even more important is the ability to see beauty in the mundane world that exists at the edges of the easy to see wonders of nature.
Thank you for the wonderful description of our path. You put everything down so eloquently here. Wow, I am glad for my Lithuanian-English dictionary enabled me to say that loudly now.
