People look surprised when I respond to any of their questions about inspiration. But just today I have been inspired to write about where inspiration for me comes from by reading about the New Mexico artist, Agnes Martin, long passed on, but about to have a showing in London. She -- like me -- became used to having a vacant mind -- and images would simply arrive to her hand..and then she would paint. Similarly, with this new book of fiction I am working on, I wait for next paragraphs and next scenes to arrive, to come into me, and then I write them down. But it may be a few days before the way forward comes...and then it may be only a sentence or two, or a whole chapter. In-between, yes, I stay open and vacant. Agnes worked in this same way for years and I am chuffed to find a compatriot...I am sure there are other artists who work this way too. We are open and receiving gifts from the whole, from the quantum-field when we work in this way. It requires listening, stillness, patience, A Ho. Amen. There is only grace.
