Our moments of inspiration

"I was the only one left in the tomb then. I sort of liked it, in a way. It was so nice and peaceful" 

Excerpt from "The Catcher and the Rye"

Our moments of inspiration are not lost though we have no particular poem to show for them; for those experiences have left an indelible impression, and we are ever  reminded of them. Henry David Thoreau.I have many moments of inspiration that come and go quickly.  Mostly I must act swiftly so as not to lose the inspiring  thought.  Copy it down or hastily put into practice what I had just minutes before conjured in my minds eye.   I made strawberry planters to hang on the fence from cut down coke bottles. That was a one of those moments of inspiration.I find that Gnarls Barkley says a very similar thing to the Catcher in the Rye Quote and it is as follows:I remember when I lost my mind. There was something so pleasant about that place.Even your emotions had an echo. In so much space
