I don't know...

The Krasnals. Whielki Krasnal "Nobel prize winner? Red communistic pig?
Wisława Szymborska", from "Great Poles". 2010. Oil on canvas.

Inspiration is not the exclusive privilege of poets or artists. There is, there has been, there will always be a certain group of people whom inspiration visits. It's made up of all those who've consciously chosen their calling and do their job with love and imagination. It may include doctors, teachers, gardeners — I could list a hundred more professions. Their work becomes one continuous adventure as long as they manage to keep discovering new challenges in it. Difficulties and setbacks never quell their curiosity. A swarm of new questions emerges from every problem that they solve. Whatever inspiration is, it's born from a continuous "I don't know."

Wisława Szymborska (b.1923)  Polish poet, essayist and translator awarded the 1996 Nobel Prize in Literature.
