Thursday Inspiration: The Uses of Sorrow

Thursday Inspiration: The Uses of Sorrow

We'll admit it; we're selfish in here. What is the point of having this community if we can't find a way to inspire others to create , discuss and join in?

To that end, the intention is to provide something each week that might inspire some of us to do just that.

Today's inspiration, is this yummy graphic by meus_venator featuring 'The Uses of Sorrow' by Mary Oliver. I know the words resonate with me, even before we place Jared and Jensen, or is it Sam and Dean (you decide) in the box with them.

We'd like to hear your thoughts on the image or the words, and if it happens to inspire anything more we'd love you to come back and share your creation with us. There are no rules, no pressure or deadline just a wispy hope that it sparks some sort of emotion with you.

Today, we would also like to know what sort of things inspire your imagination. Do you listen to song lyrics and think they fit Supernatural perfectly? Or do lines from novels and poetry spark ideas? Maybe it's as simple as mulling over a scene or lines from the show? Let us know and we'll try to find something that will light that dark spark.

On a practical note, if you're new to Imzy then you may not know that until you comment on a post a community then your mods have no way to know who you are. All we see are numbers until you pick an identity to use on that first comment. Now, with the nature of the comm we will respect anybody's decision to remain anonymous, but we suspect that a lot of us will recognise friends when you're unmasked -so go on, say hi. We don't bite but we're not promising we can keep those boys in their cage forever.
