The world of nature offers a writer so many opportunities and can provide inspiration when the mind becomes empty and thoughts run dry.
Reflected in nature are all the emotions that humans feel every day. For example: the pitter patter of rain on the roof, the gentle whispers of a silent breeze, the silvery rays of moonlight seeping in through closed blinds, the golden rays of sunlight that stretch themselves out as the sun makes it slow climb into the azure blue sky, and the flashes of yellow light that streak across the ebony sky on stormy afternoons.
Sorrow and happiness, anger and calmness are all reflected in the weather that Mother Nature sends to Earth. The weather can often times be the light that can help a person to start writing and to generate ideas.
The colors displayed in nature through the petals of flowers, the leaves of the trees, the swaying blades of tall green grass, the aqua blue sky above, all stimulate the senses and offer a way to capture one's emotions, by using the elements of nature to disguise the words a person may have a hard time expressing onto paper.
Nature is a way to escape ,and when the world is crashing down and it seems like there is no hope, a brilliant sunrise or a colorful rainbow can rejuvenate the soul, and is often times the invisible comforter of optimism and faith that can help to flip a person's emotions upside down, and make them realize that everything will eventually be alright.
Therefore, the next time you are writing and you feel the awful sensation of emptiness in your mind, take a look outside your window. View the painting that Mother Nature has created outside, and take a moment to breathe in the fresh air and cast your eyes upon the array of colors and images that are there. Maybe the smells and images within nature will trigger the light in your mind that will help produce the inspiration you desire when you are writing.
