Feeling Spacey Today

July 13, 2022 2 Comments

Have you seen the first images from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope? They get my imagination all whirled up as I try to wrap my head around the depths of space. Inspired, I set up my mobile editing office at the San Diego Air & Space Museum in Balboa Park today. I get a kick out of the plane art out front.

If you don’t know, this fabulous museum is an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution. It houses a collection of historic aircraft and spacecraft, including a flight-worthy replica of Lindbergh’s “Spirit of St. Louis” and the actual Apollo 9 Command Module. Lots of hands-on things for kids. I’ve spent many hours inside the museum with my sons. Today, I enjoyed the sunshine outside, with the planes cruising overhead. I suppose that would be noisy to some, but I lived under that flight path for 4.5 yrs so the noise is nothing to me.

What can be your inspiration today?

Writing, like life itself, is a voyage of discovery.

    I can’t imagine writing underneath that noise–but good for you! I have my grandkids’ voices in my brain as my inspiration today. Out of the mouths of babes come amazing words to capture and ponder for future pb’s!

    Perhaps as a result of growing up in a full and busy home, I used to REQUIRE noise when I read or wrote. Now it depends on what I’m working on. ? Yeah for inspiring grandkids!
