Love. Children are loving, they dont gossip, they dont complain, theyre just open–hearted. Theyre ready for you. They dont judge. They dont see things by way of color. Theyre very child–like. Thats the problem with adults: they lose that child–like quality. And thats the level of inspiration thats so needed and is so important for creating and writing songs and for a sculptor, a poet or a novelist. Its that same kind of innocence, that same level of consciousness, that you create from. And kids have it. I feel it right away from animals and children and nature. Of course.
