The way the light comes through the tiny windows into a dark room is what inspiration feels like to me. But what do you do with that inspiration the next day? So often I rethink my inspiring idea and think "yeah, and you will look like a RAVING LUNATIC!" That is usually where the idea dies. So I have two questions: Where does inspiration come from and where does it lead? How do you know if your wild idea will lead to your downfall and humiliation or to the life you really want. Is there some kind of test you can give your inspiration that I don't know about? Usually my ideas involve doing something bold to get more of the life I want right now. Perhaps I just need to jump in. Now I'm reminded of that scene from Finding Nemo where the two fish are hanging on the edge of the whales mouth... where Dory thinks they should let go and Nemo's dad says, "How do we know it won't swallow us etc..." and Dory says "We don't" That is a very rough translation but you get the point. Perhaps I just need to let go and follow the inspirations and let humiliation come as it may. I'm feeling all inspired now to follow my inspiration. I'll let you know how it goes.

Late night inspiration
I don't know how many times I've started a sentence with ," I was lying in bed last night thinking and ..." So often when I am nursing Ivy to sleep my mind gets pierced by (what seems like) an incredible thought. When I visualize these inspirations I am reminded of this cathedral by Corbusier called Notre-Dame-du-Haut in France ( I would dearly love to see this someday). 
The way the light comes through the tiny windows into a dark room is what inspiration feels like to me. But what do you do with that inspiration the next day?
