Is there ever a perfect time to write? To paint? To build something new from the breath of an unseen feeling? Sometimes, a message, a shape, a fragment of art pulses within us—restless, alive—trying to find its way out. It stirs like a whisper in the chest, a gentle nudge that says, “There’s something here. Say it. Shape it.”
But just as we reach for the words, the brush, the sound—self-doubt slips in like a shadow. We hesitate. We pause. We convince ourselves the time isn’t right, that the idea isn’t ripe, that we aren’t ready. So we wait for that mythical “perfect moment.”
But the more we wait, the more the creative current dries up. Ignored inspiration sours. The energy that once moved like light begins to stall. Ideas stack upon each other like forgotten letters at the end of a pipe—clogged, stale, heavy with the weight of hesitation. And when we finally try to open the gate, it feels like what comes out is only waste.
But imagine a water pipe unused for years. The first flow is always murky. It smells. It sputters. But still—it flows. Let it flow. Let the old water run, the shadowy thoughts, the shaky sketches, the half-finished verses. Let the seemingly meaningless mess pour out.
Because the water does clear. It always does. The stream finds its rhythm. The ideas return to clarity. What was once stuck becomes alive again.
So if you’re feeling the nudge to create—even if it’s small, even if it feels messy—show up. With patience. With persistence. With faith. This is the sacred dirty work. This is how the channel opens. And once the old is released, what follows will carry the unmistakable clarity of the source.
Remember: what comes from the source is already pure. Our only task is to remove the dam. Let this be your nudge. Let it flow. I’m in it too—doing the gritty, graceful work. And I’ll meet you there soon, on the other side, where creation sings in its truest voice. Just take that first step.
