Listening to some melody and imagine the visuals accordingly. Looking at things closely and at length. Lingering on the smell of an old book and thinking abt its words. Talking to a chic much different from me. 
These things take time, but make me feel alive more than anything. They bring me stories. And you know what, stories are the beginning of everything in this world. 
The Eureka moment is when my contemplation goes right and could answer one of my endless long-held unsolved queries (thanks to the stories, of course).
Then, feel like I am an inventor of the era lol. Feel myself less ignorant of this universe. Feel myself more & more attached to Mother Nature. 
To be inspired to happily live and then to live inspiringly to pay it forward.
