Monday InspirationsHere are 3 weekly ideas for song lyric, poems, instrumental titles, photos, video, short story or anything they inspire you to create.  Use the title if you like & make something!  It is yours for free.  A gift.  :-)

88.  Fat Dog
After reading an advertisement in a magazing about a drug you can buy to give your overweight dog so it will lose weight, my dog started looking fat. :-)  He doesn’t look fat when he’s playing.  But when he begs for my food he looks fat.  Fat Dog.

89.  CHECKLIST
The sound of a hard K gives a word power.  I am reminded of the main character in the novel/movie The Bridges of Madison County - Robert Kincaid.  That name is pronouned with vocal force - 2 hard Ks - Kincaid.

So CHECKLIST makes a great title and is easily pronounced.  I’ve got a checklist for you baby.  One - you’re beautiful, two - you give me chills and thrills and three - you’re all I see tonight, you top my checklist.

90.  Noticeably Quiet
A poetic singer-songwriter lyric title or can be a title for an instrumental piece or a piece of art/photoography/video.  Noticeably Quiet shows how an object can have impact and at the same time be subtle.  A huge redwood tree can be noticeably quiet.  So can a mountain, so can a snowflake, so can a lover sitting across the bed as he puts his shoes on.

Johnny Meegan - Songwriter

Monday, September 28th, 2009

Met this cutie in a driveway. I was carrying a bag of groceries & he was getting his accoustic guitar out of the back seat of his girlfriend’s car. While I cooked, he strummed & sang in the next room. He talked about his music & I asked to take his photo. I felt like this was a meeting of two artistic pilgrims. What a wonderful afternoon.

It is Songs2Share’s goal to video some quality artist interviews. We bought a HD Video Camera for the project and are now learning to use it. This little video of Johnny was taken on my Flip Mino which I just happened to have as I take it along most places. Very small & convenient video camera. Highly recommended.

When you are inspired…

When you are inspired by some great
purpose, some extraordinary project,
all your thoughts break their bonds;
Your mind transcends limitations,
your consciousness expands in every direction,
and you find yourself in a new, great
and wonderful world.
Dormant forces, faculties and talents
become alive, and you discover yourself
to be a greater person by far
than you ever dreamed
yourself to be.
                     Patanjali
                     (C. First to Third Century B.C.)

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Pick one thing, a song, poem, video, painting, photo - and put yourself into the moment of creating that art.  Slowly, with great spirit, attached to your piece, inspired.  And this littlest of projects, to the most extraordinary project = will blossom under your touch.

Receive Every Day

Receive every day as a resurrection from death, as a new enjoyment of life; meet every rising sun with such sentiments of God’s goodness, as if you had seen it, and all things, new - created upon your account: and under the sense of so great a blessing.

–William Law

13.  Menopause Relapse - This goes into Adult Contemporary about a woman who thinks she is grown up but suffers a menopause relapse and makes adolescent choices that reek havoc on the world.
14.  When Dreams Get Ugly - The other morning I woke & told K. - “Wow, I was just dreaming my dead mother was chopping off the sunflower heads with a nail file and the devil was collecting them and laughing hideously as he ate the seeds and spit the shells at me.”  Well, it wasn’t quite like that but then I said “I’d rather be in this world than that world” and I got up.

15.  3 Forevers - A special love gave me this one.  She said it will take - 3 Forevers - She used it as a measure of time.  I wrote her a poem and titled it 3 Forevers.  You’ll be my friend for - 3 Forevers.  I love you BRR~
