Inspiration and Crystalware

I rarely receive large bursts of inspiration. Rather, my learning comes in small understandings as I consider and ponder certain questions I have had. When I am deep in thought, especially over something that is difficult to inderstand, it is like I am standing in a room full of crystal ware. I can imageine the room, with tiled floors, stone pillars, and large, long windows letting the light stream in. I walk around slowly and stop at each pedestal, picking up each work of crystal ideas. I consider its shape and texture carefully, then gently return each piece to its designated space. I wander this room of the mind until I found my truth or conclusion.
Inspiration is not often about burning bushes or angels coming down from heaven. Inspiration is usually in small amounts - "precept by precept."

Job 32:8, Isaiah 28:10, Jarom 1:4, Moroni 7:13, D&C 11:13
