''Interview With an Inspirer''

[an online interview conducted by an Inspiration reader]
D: Walt, do you write a new inspirational poem every Friday?
WALT: yep....usually Thursday night...but lately they've been coming Friday mornings...
D: (they've been coming)...I take it that means the thoughts right?
WALT: Yes, I sometimes get knocked out of my sleep early Friday morning with an idea that I need to communicate. If I want to just create one on demand, I can do that too, but the more effective and poignant ones are the ones that create me.
D: interesting .....how does that work?
WALT: the inspirations are things that I need to learn in my own journey. I find that as I go through a particular challenge in my life, there's an inspiration that guides me towards a new way of thinking and being. They're often cathartic, and instructional in addition to being inspirational. In effect, they are creating me. They are my becoming... my path to becoming more and more of who I am.
Transcribing words the truth is
that I merely hold the pen
And what I write are often truths
that help my own life mend
Is it because of who you are
you do the things you do?
Or is it through the things you do
you're molded into you?
From choices made it's said
that we too are made in turn
You always teach the best
the thing that you most need to learn!
Note: The first few Walt's Friday Inspiration emails included quotes from various authors and personalities. It wasn't until episode 19 that I tried my hand at writing the rhyme-based inspirational messages myself. The rest, as they, is history...
