Finding Inspiration by Mike Lowery

CBethM's avatarNerdy Book Club

Hello!  I’m Mike Lowery an illustrator and author who spends most of the day drawing bananas with faces on them, space stuff, robotic cats and a grumpy duck named Carl from my series of books, Doodle Adventures.

I’d like to talk to you a little bit about a little thing called “Inspiration.” People ask me all the time how I come up with my ideas for my books and comics, and I’m going to let you in on a little secret:  Inspiration doesn’t all of a sudden appear out of nowhere!  It’s not a magical thing that comes in through a window while you’re just sitting there sipping tea that plants an idea and makes you yell “aha!” at the top of your lungs.  I mean maybe that’s the way it for some folks, but not for me.

For me, ideas don’t just appear like that.  They’re a combination of…

“It’s how you live your life everyday and how you stand inwardly with your thoughts and intuition that determine your spiritual life and progress in this life and the next. How you serve the Light/God is by the activity of your OWN spirit and not through the doctrines of the earthly man made belief systems.(religions). All the religions of the world contain grains of Truth but also contain many distortions and contradictions added to them by intellectual man. These changes were not willed by the Truth Bringers and are not in harmony with the simplicity and logical consistency of the Eternal Laws of Creation. The task remains for each man/woman to listen to their inner voice to discern the Truth.”

“The beauty of life is, while we cannot undo what is done
we can see it, understand it, learn from it and change
so that every new moment is spent
not in regret, guilt, fear or anger
but in wisdom, understanding and love.”

“Love is what we are born with.
Fear is what we have learned here.
The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear
and the acceptance of love back into our hearts.”

CHANGING LIFE

Wendell A. Brown's avatarWhere Words Daily Come Alive.com

Our lives are so very inconnected
A part of His living spirit always
When one becomes down a blessing comes
Whose radiant light will provide a way

We are never really alone in all we do
As we’re a part of the same Living tree
Our lives are vibrantly intertwined
This is the way God has made it be

Remember always our God surely loves us
And He will show his love to us each day
He desires each life moment to remind us
That if we pray daily he will closely stay

But you have to release your true feelings
Which deep in your heart you seek to hide
He’s seen the sin which daily cripples you
Desiring to free its grip on your life

His heart is full of the power of His grace
Which with a single spoken word will heal
And His eternal love knows no…

I SING A SONG

Wendell A. Brown's avatarWhere Words Daily Come Alive.com

I sing a song of love
To You, early each day
When the sun does rise

The song will stay each
Day with me, so melodic
And heavenly deep within
My mind

The song’s melodies will
Live with me, filling my
Heart with lasting pleasure

So that even when I lay
Down to sleep at night,
It will always still be
My most valued treasure.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Psalm 104:33
I will sing to the LORD all my
life; I will sing praise to my
God as long as I live.

The prairie skies can always make you
see more that what you believe.

It was still that day, evocatively still and sacredly quiet. The plain’s grasses shone golden in the sunlight and spread out before us like butter on warm toast in and around the craggy terrain. Mountains, hills, buttes, mesas, and plateaus framed these prairies and stood like paternal sentinels over the hallowed ground they had erupted upon eons ago. And although there was barely a breeze blowing on that chilly autumn day when we travelled through northern New Mexico, one could faintly hear, or maybe just imagine, the earth playing her vast array of harmonies, harmonies wrought of whispering grasses, pounding hooves, lapping waters, laughing children on the run, and the call of wild birds in flight. Today, however, there was only a lone hawk soaring above in the cloudless expanse of the day’s sapphire blue…
