You Know That Feeling

I know you do. You feel it when the credits roll and you’re glad you paid $9+ because it sparked something you haven’t quite identified yet.  You feel it when you look at some landscape; it’s not just beautiful, it’s saying something. Sometimes it’s a snatch of music, a few notes, maybe just a sound, that resonates in your soul.  Maybe it’s a nighttime musing–something clicks, and the world makes a little more sense than it did before.

And you have an idea.

Not just an idea, but an idea that needs to be shared. A revelation. An epiphany.

And you hold it in your hands, examining it, feeling its warmth, mesmerized by its glow. You want to soak it in, and you want, somehow, to make others feel and think the exact same way you’re feeling and thinking this very moment.

It’s nice, feeling creative.

Doing something about it. Well, that’s another matter entirely.
