Rest and Contemplation Before the Next Creative Surge Forward

I've been in what I used to refer to as a creative slump. Down time between inspirations for new works. Now I refer to that time as my rest phase. My rest phase is a time of deep contemplation and . . . yes, rest. Rest in preparation for the next surge forward. This morning I'm feeling artistic twinges, and my fingers are itching to begin sketching the ideas I see taking form in my mind. Hopefully the rest of this week and through the weekend will find me happily and blissfully at my art desk painting. Let the surge forward with new works begin!
