I was surprised to find that the symbolic meaning of sheep is simplicity and vulnerability. Its odd how nature in its many forms, highlights aspects of life as it is in the moment. When I was out with my camera yesterday, I was fascinated by the sheep grazing in the field just down the road from my home a.nd I watched them for a while. The one with the black face was very curious, he came to the gate as if to say hello! There were 5 sheep in all, none of the others took the blindest bit of notice of me, they kept on grazing.
I have always believed that simplicity makes for great art; so maybe the symbolic sheep was telling me to strive further for this, or to stop making life so complicated and return to a simple way of thinking. Maybe I feel too vulnerable at times and that I should seek strength and courage to live a better life.
I am certain that everything has meaning. A spark of an idea can appear from nowhere ... inspiration can come from anywhere; I read that inspiration comes from the journey...the doing of... and I have found this to be true. If I am working on a project, the beginning is always difficult and I have found that the best way to start is to focus on anything, because from something comes something else.... and so it continues. Being inspired does not mean to wait until something inspires you, that may never happen. Doing brings its own inspiration....
