He felt an invigorating change in his body. He felt a desire to create. He’d never been particularly artistic, but he felt he could start now. He walked to the library, and he felt a thrill.

He felt a sudden need to research. He opened his computer, and his finger danced across the keyboard. He smiled, feeling the energy flow.
