(I\u2019m thinking of beaches, Tahoe, or just the backyard). Some are inspired by museums or art. Some even cultivate complete boredom, forcing themselves into creation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>But some of us are actually inspired by chaos<\/strong>, by overload, by feeling just a little bit overwhelmed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you\u2019re stuck in a rut, this kind of inspiration may be just the thing you need.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To Find Inspiration, You\u2019ll Just Have to Shake It Up\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a year of isolation, just buying gas may be overwhelming with all those cars, noises, and other people, so you may not be too eager to rush towards that feeling of being overwhelmed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>But it does have some advantages.<\/strong> Stimulation engenders creativity and creative responses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ve missed overload. I miss the overwhelmingness of a museum walk\u2015all the art crammed into that indoor space, within carved frames, glowing from spotlights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>A concert delivers similar feelings.<\/strong> The more mature I become, the more I\u2019m impressed and awed by the talent and years of devotion necessary to properly play a violin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surrounding yourself with good art and excellent music is humbling, which is a good thing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find Inspiration Out Among the Chaos<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The other overload I miss is the crowd. I love people watching, imagining their lives, eavesdropping on exchanges that, stripped of any context, sound like poetry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>I miss the sheer volume of ideas just parading up and down the sidewalk or through the bar.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The final overload I miss is a busy city\u2014the lights, the traffic, the crowds, and you need to keep your head, wits, and purse about you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>I find that the overwhelmingness of teeming humanity<\/strong>, even freeway traffic, delivers a marvelous feeling of participation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How can we not admire the audacity and skills it took to build a freeway or construct a city?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leave the Rut Behind<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are feeling a little out of sorts, if your work and your art are languishing, go for a drive. Climb. Go out to dinner. Visit a casino.
