Sparklers, The New Incense!!!

I have to say I do giggle in delight every time I pick a lover fortune...this one is "I Love Your Sudden Sparks of Inspiration".  I have to say my first thought is do you mean my spark of inspiration or rationalization.  As you can tell if you've been reading the blogs I can rationalize just about anything and find an optimistic spin.  Then again I guess I get inspired pretty quickly and if you read yesterdays I think our inspirations and passions is the fire that fuels all the love we have, not just the love for that specific passion or inspiration...because love is unconditional, if it's conditional that its idolization.  Hmmm, that just came out and I may be onto something.

But I have nothing else to say (are you shocked, I am) although as I'm about to say this I am getting inspired because this also feels very connected to yesterdays blog.  About warmth and a smile (and yes a tight ass because there is reciprocity in everything :) ).  A spark is just the beginning or warmth. I like the choice of the word spark because that really is what an inspiration is ....so it's like when you use flint to make a fire...sometimes it catches, sometimes it doesn't...sometimes will it lead to a bon fireor can lead to an inferno or be more gentle and nurturing like a candle flame or just be a spark for the moment and not manifest into anything more than a spark....

Now I'm thinking of sparklers on the Fourth of July and being a kid and the wonder and awe that the colors and sparks give off...we should all have that sense of awe with ideas/inspirations.  Have it and if it leads to more then maybe you have a fire and if it flitters out then at least you had fun exploring and admiring it.  Just when I'm about to say I can't think of anything else something else gets inspired and that's how sparks work right, they catch on.  Remember for it to turn into something it needs to be nurtured with kindling first, then some wood or even some air...you may want to think of the metaphorical connections to how you are nurturing your inspirations.

I remember giving out sparklers once for a new moon ceremony when the them was inspirations.  So I had used the container I used for my incense sticks to hold it.  I thought I had given them all away or put away when done.  So then another morning many, many weeks later I sit down to meditate and light incense...or so I thought...and instead the sparkler goes off...imagine both my shock and my delight.  It was perfect medicine for my day and more fun when it comes like that then orchestrated but you do what you need to do so  I recommend keeping them around for when your feeling a dry spell, it just may spark (pun intended) something.

I actually started todays blog thinking I was doing the first paragraph and post a youtube video...but that's exactly how inspiration works...one spark leads to another and to another and it may catch and turn into a book or may fizzle out with a tune.  And as I often do, I will just post a song because music is one of my greatest inspirations whether through lyrics, melody, rhythm...  And the one that comes to mind first and is pretty obvious but what a great way to fizzle out, huh?!?!
