the beauty of taiwanese life

motivation and creativity

flow out of the porcelain mug filled with Inspiration

 

Inspiration

 

a lot of power resides in this single word

but what does it mean?

to me, Inspiration is more than a four-syllable word

 

Inspiration comes from the homeless man who sits near the park, painting a new scene every time i walk by.

Inspiration comes from the older lady who sells dumplings and steamed buns at the local night market.

Inspiration comes from the science teacher who strums the ukulele and sings his heart out.

Inspiration comes from the woman next door who individually waters her two hundred plants surrounding her house in the morning.

Inspiration comes from the child who carries the entire neighborhood’s trash to the garbage truck every night.

Inspiration comes from the young filmmaker who works fourteen hours a day to save up for a new camera.

 

 

Inspiration is everywhere, you just need to open your eyes to feel it.
