Whenever I used to blow smoke about a great new project, it would soon fizzle. Beginnings of inspiration, like fresh sparks, need dry fuel and shelter from the wind, till wood can catch fire and grow into a blaze. Have you ever tried to light a fire with a pile of wet leaves? If you get them started, there's so much smoke that the little sparks get snuffed. Recently, I was deeply inspired by images of survival in a video of 200 wild horses marooned on a tiny island in the Netherlands. I was excited to send the link to share with you in my Fresh Horses newsletter. When this turned out to be impossible, I was disappointed. . . At first. Being blocked from sharing my passion was a blessing in disguise. Had I managed to send it, and describe in words what I found so moving, the energy would have died with the first spark. This time, I finally got it, with the help of technology dampening my passion. I was left to focus my energies on gradually developing this spark of inspiration into a glowing body of work. If you don't already know it, you might learn from my experience. Don't blow a pile of smoke, even to your mate or best friend. It's not that others might steal your fire, but that you could easily put out your passion in talking about it. Let your little sparks get a good start first, and then keep them sheltered awhile longer till they're blazing hot. Focus this new passion where it needs to be to ignite the creative miracle. Sheltering and feeding a new inspiration is like first learning you're pregnant. You wait some weeks before you tell the whole world. It's a very private, tender time of gestation. Once your work is well underway, and you start to see its possibilities, it will begin to take on a life of its own. Then you likely won't need to talk about it. While you might have enjoyed the video, my sparks would have been snuffed out before they'd had a chance to catch hold. Instead, they have caught fire and are becoming a blaze of paintings. So I thank the Universe for once again providing me with the perfect lesson at the right time. And I offer my example that it might catch fire with you too. Now I'm more patient to know the difference between blowing out a new spark, and staying in connection within, until the tinder burns bright. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, I'm Celeste Varley and have been an artist at heart all my life.
