Finding Inspiration –
Ideas for Lightening Life
Some sources and moments of inspiration are evergreen, timeless, universal.
They appeal to a deep, shared human experience, the spirit of which which has filled us with awe and wonder for eons.
Magical Moons
Spending time outdoors in deep, dark velvety nights, here in South West France where we have zero light pollution, means that our stargazing, planet spotting, seeing and sensing of the delicious sparkling over-mantle of the Milky Way above, are a regular source of inspiring moments for spirit and soul.
The full moon can be astonishing in its size and brightness, and I love to see it peeping from behind the trees. The photograph has a mistily masked effect, and nicely captures the mood and magic of our mellow moon.
This poem below, though, was inspired by an amazing full moon which shone so splendidly on the sea, as I was returning home during a time I spent in Lyme Regis*, writing at a friend’s house .

* Lyme is a favourite seaside resort in Dorset, UK, which is famous for its Heritage Coast rich in fossils dating back to the Jurassic period. It’s a quaintly attractive town with many artists and writers, wonderful walks and scenery and the world famous Cobb harbour is a major draw – “not just for its visual splendour and its magnificent naval architecture, but also for its connections with great literature. Indeed people come from all over the world to see the steps where Louisa Musgrove fell in Jane Austen’s Persuasion; or to see where Meryl Streep stood, looking forlornly out to sea, in the film adaptation of John Fowles’ The French Lieutenant’s Woman.”

Hello – very very good web site you have created. I appreciated reading through the writing. I did want to issue a brief review to tell you that the actual style and design of this internet site is incredibly aesthetically delightful. I used to be a graphic designer, now I am a copy editor in chief for a advertising company. I have always loved playing with information processing systems and am trying to learn computer code within my free time (which there is never enough of lol).
Really nice post! Your writing is so refreshing in comparison to most other bloggers. Thanks for writing when you do, I’ll be sure to read more!

In a way it reminds me of the cover of your book ‘The Dawning’ http://www.thedawning.co.uk, Emmanuel, a book which is also highly inspiring.

What a wonderfully atmospheric blend of words and image, but then, as a devotee of your ‘Secret Garden of the Soul,’ dear Christine, what else would I expect?
Stay Inspired!

What a tender and subtle poem full of imagery and soft notes…
It’s great to find a place that inspires. Often, when we do, we can forget to return to it regularly to ‘top up’ our inspiration. I have several places or ‘wellsprings of inspiration” that I go to to keep in touch with my passion and purpose. In fact, I ended up moving home to one of them, so now I am greeted each morning by beautiful sea views and each evening the moon lights a shimmering path across the water and into my bedroom: “Water transformed into a sea of dreams”
