Well...
I read a quote today and less it's meaning... I gave some thought to it. Comments and quote below:
We should be taught not to wait for inspiration to start a thing. Action always generates inspiration. Inspiration seldom generates action.

So what have we done lately?
I feel like a incapable blob, stuck in a job
I earn my way, but pay through pain
Two kids and the Woman I love aren't enough?
Why would I need the internet porn and snuff?
It's not the family that weights me, but the fact that I choose the prison and the color of the cell.
Picked out my own personal hell.
No one would can even hear me yell..or the yelp that I am reduced to.
I can't even produce the same material of what I'm used to.
When will inspiration = 100% action
When will it be 50% effort = total re-action
When will blood, sweat and tears actually catch some traction
I don't know whether to get involved or wait to watch what happens.
So the oxymorn stills exists
To take action or to relax and sit
The rest of my life I could just pick my zits
Or I could raise up and get off where your mouth can kiss!
It's kind of funny, because after I wrote this, I realized that it's an oxymoron...an ever feeding circle...inspiration invokes action and action invokes inspiration and the cyle continues...if only this were true.
8 years of the same leadership that we voted in proves false. We have a ways to go.

well....
that was a mouthful, but with any quote there is truth and points that can be disproven, it just depends on the reader and what he/she takes away from it. To be inspired is the greatest feeling in the world, maybe even right next to sex , no scatch that right next to chocolate, well you get the point, its like a drug that only wears off when the job/project/thought comes to fruition. I beleive action does inspire because haveway throught the intial action you think about how many possible endings it can have, some better, some worse. and living everyday is the greatest action, with infinite inspiration around every cubical, hallway, street corner, poopy diper, good diner, great love affair, badlove affair, trip to supermarket, sleep, ect.ect.
So just when the prison walls seem to be closing in, just imagine bolt cutters and break into action.
I like the bolt cutter idea...I suppose that is what inspriration is.
