Monuments of Thought

It starts with a moment of insight

A thought

A Burst of imagination

The glimmer of creation shining brightly

And we build it up and flesh it out

Sometimes we jump from conception to finale and the task seems so huge we never begin.

Or we begin, and fold under the pressure of the monument because the foundation has not been properly laid.

We forget about gravity, about force, about physics, and the magic of the idea come to life in our head leads us through a portal to our own defeat.

But if we can hold the idea– the creation in all its glory

And be present with the laying of each layer of foundation.

Place each brick in the structure with loving intent

With a little piece of that creation magic in igniting that moment

The present compounding each glimmer

Raising our monument, our idea higher and higher,

Sparkling each step of the way,

We can explode with exponentiality

And our idea can become more than we were capable of imaging
