The other day an article caught my eye, it was about writers and their constant fear of running out of subject material. I smiled slightly as I remember sharing that fear. I am not a professional writer, I write because I like it and because I think I have something of worth to say to someone. Every morning, I have been able to post a piece, be it good or bad and I do not anticipate running out of material, perhaps out of steam but not out of things to write about.

Mind you, it is not like I get up every morning with a topic swirling in my head, I use my morning meditative session to provide me with the seed of an idea to write about. It may be something that kept turning up in my thoughts, perhaps from something I read or experienced during my day; it may be something that just popped into my mind during the session, or it may be an idea that came after my meditation is complete. Sometimes it is the simplest thought but other times it is an idea so complex that I roll my eyes and ask “So how do you expect me to explain that in a blog?” And if you are anything like me, you like it clear and simple.
Who wants to read a topic and at the end of it be more confused than before you began to read? Simple words and concepts explained simply are best for simple minds like mine and so I write for like minds.

There are days when I can write two or three short articles and there are times when I can only manage one. I just roll with it, knowing that I will never run out of things to write about. I suspect my meditation practice holds the key since, during meditation, I am locked into Universal Energy, the source from which all things flow.

As I read the article, I noticed that the writer, in giving tips on how to ‘not run out of writing material’ did not offer meditation as a way of locking into a never-ending creative stream of topics. I invite you to look at people as great as Einstein, he meditated before he began work and what did he create?

So if you are feeling the urge to become more creative, be it as a painter, writer, singer, or carpenter, tap into Source Intelligence and you will be amazed by what comes out of your creative process.
