I was on my way home today – took the bus of course.  Wasn’t quite paying attention to the time or where I was.  Looked up, oh no…. missed my stop. Pushed the “Stop Request” button, ran to the door and got off.  Too soon, still had 5 stops to go. Mobile phones are great for losing your way.

It started to rain.

No umbrella.

Oasis of Creativity

I looked ahead of me down the street and saw an oasis of information, the library!

I ran to the library, hoping my laptop and phone don’t drown.

I started to look around and couldn’t find what I was looking for – Inspiration.

I asked the librarian, “I need some help finding a book please”

“Certainly, can you tell me a little about it, tell me everything you know”

“I need inspiration”

he tells me “you’ve come to the right place!”

Then without and hesitation he walks me to the children’s section (this made me think about leadership and creativity) and reached in to pull a book out.

“You’ve been asked this before?” I query.

“Nope, you are the first and if you need inspiration this is the best section. Leonardo de Vinci.”

He was right.
