Sometimes it’s the beauty of nature that inspires me or my never ending spiritual curiosity.  And on other occasions it could be an empty coffee cup that triggers a thought.  I never know what’s going to spill out onto the page and that’s what keeps me writing. 
 
Might as well write it down and make room for more thoughts.
  
Thanks for coming by for a read!  It’s your visits that make it all worth while.
