What Inspires me?

It depends.

 

Sometimes common problems inspire practical solutions.

Have you ever burned your finger, and then did the dishes?

It hurts, I tell you. 

We didn't have rubber gloves, so I used an ice pack instead.

What if ice pack bandages can solve this problem?

Problems, though impractical, can inspire me.

 

Marimba is my happy place.

Warm ups clash on purpose as new chords create new meaning.

I enjoy playing things by ear, sometimes making it up as I go.

When I'm especially down, I play something I know,

sometimes adding my own twist.

Marimba can inspire me.

 

Have you ever had a song stuck in your head?

I know I do.

Sometimes, when I really get into a song,

and I'm aloneish in the kitchen,

I make up my own dance moves to go with it.

Songs inspire me.
