Rice in a bag

    I'm searching for that sense of creativity some people have, or what I remember having.  I've tried watching old shows and movies, reading books, dream journaling, mediating, and even gazing wistfully hard across classrooms at bouncy younger folk in hopes to extract an idea.
   Because maybe that idea will sprout more ideas in an endless chain reaction of ever growing creative flow.  It would be like being electrocuted with joy and waking up breathless and half dead with a "style", but that's not how it works, is it?  No one really knows how it works.
    I am an amateur musician, but I want to create an experience.  I need to live enough, and learn enough to be able to tie together the worlds most important issues into a "sound".  It needs involve the highest refineries of music, story telling, and maybe even animation or film.
I've had glimmers of what this could be, but they are disjointed and I have yet to start gathering them.  They are like grains of rice in a rice bag compared to some of the works I have seen or heard, but I suppose they are all I have at this point, and perhaps I best gather them If I have any hope at all.
