Tell me! Tell me!
Where do stories come from?
How do they suddenly appear like this?
Rattling doors and windows,
demanding to be let in —
this storm surge of memory —
Tell me! Tell me!
It’s my turn now!
Like a petulant child,
stomping her feet —
dogged and determined —
she must get her way.
Tell me! Tell me!
And all the muses conspire,
send whispers on winds,
signs in dreams,
coincidence and happenstance.
NOW!
Tell me! Tell me!

This is the second post I read about inspiration today. Nice. Very nice. Now where do I find some of this inspiration? Tell me, tell me!
Ugh!
I think it just comes – maybe try inviting it in?
I deeply appreciate the time, energy, and expertise that you put into these posts. I am sure they are means of inspiration and growth for more than myself. Thank you!
Thank you! You do a nice job, too! : )
Tell me! if you get the answer!
I certainly will!
oh tell me, tell me, tell me a story…
This is just lovely.
Thanks Joss!
Oh, those muses! The tease us so!
YOU know it! : )
