Even the smallest things can trigger our minds into thought. As minuscule as me may consider these thoughts, I believe they all add up to something. Some sort of greater web of mind and soul, which directly flows out through the body.

On a nice day, I took a walk as I usually do to take some random pictures. I noticed a phrase spray painted on the train platform, "Deep Thought". Instantly my mind raced from thought to thought trying to figure out what the person meant by such a comment. Deep Thought about what? After thinking for a few minutes, I started thinking about my thoughts. I don't know if any of you have done this, but when you start thinking about your thoughts and realize what you are thinking it’s a very strange feeling. THOUGHT! Then I figured it out, the phrase was intended to do exactly that, or at least that was the intended purpose for me. I walked away feeling inspired, almost like an empty spot in my thinking had been filled with colour and brilliance. Even if the painter had intended to say something else with the paint, I felt as though I was meant to take it that way. I hope others look at it the same and I hope others look at it differently so that they may find their own unique inspiration.

Do you ever think that maybe some things happens the way they were intended, and we have the choice to act on the direction given or take a different one? It’s like we are constantly confronted with choice, even if most of the time we don’t think about it directly. The human mind works on many different levels, sometimes impossible to try and comprehend. But when life hands us something we often have the path that we ‘want’ to take and then the other path that we usually take because the wanted path is considered stupid or foolish, etc. Recently I was in a similar situation and immediately I thought of what I wanted to do but decided against it. Later I remembered the spray paint and thought about thinking again. It made me change my mind and I acted on my initial thought of what I wanted to do. I figured I had nothing to lose and I would just gain a new sense of self that I needed.

The point of the story was just that sometimes the smallest things around us trigger something bigger and more profound. Inspiration is everywhere when you keep your eyes open!
