The subtle call

“Do you hear that?”

A careful investigation follows — until we find the source.
We mute what we can. We listen. We focus.

Maybe it’s a dripping faucet.
Or a buzzing light bulb.
Or the neighbors talking.

The same kind of listening applies to creativity.
Subtle inspiration is easily masked by internal noise.

Pausing. Listening. Discerning.
Part of the practice is being curious about creative whispers.
