When you’re not feeling the creative spark…

There are those days when the fire inside only simmers.

What brought you to life yesterday doesn’t strike you like it did today.

Why?

It could be for many reasons.

You slept in, and now your whole day has slowed to your pace.

You’re hungover.

You ate junk food.

Jacqueline didn’t reply to your texts.

But these no longer matter. They are behind you now.

All you have is right now.

Eckart Tolle is watching you with beady eyes from his park bench across the street.

The present.

If you’re not sick, you have it in you to add oxygen to that fire, even if it burns low today.

You sit for a moment and look for the electricity running through you, but it’s like the current is anaemic.

Your nerves didn’t die. Eventually, you find something.

Feel it?

You sense yourself warming up, just sitting and breathing.

This could be the most important thing you do today. Doing seemingly nothing.
