Rediscovering Inspiration: Nurturing the Eternal Flame Within
We forget the force that first breathed the very life we are, into us. We forget because we get involved with the world of things
We can’t remember the first nine months of our life. It was a time when an undeniable force cradled our mother’s spirit and strengthened her fortitude so she could carry us.
It was nature that ordained our place on Earth. We came from nowhere, and once we were here, we had all the inspiration we needed. The word ‘inspire’ means ‘in-spirit.’ It comes from the Latin ‘inspiritus,’ which literally means ‘breathe into.’ Our mother took in nature’s breath and provided us with our first taste of the world. Everything was taken care of. Before we even knew who we were, we had trust that nature could provide.
When do we lose inspiration?
After we come into the world and accept the limited information we have based on the things we are exposed to, we forget the force that first inspired us in the first place. We forget the force that first breathed the very life we are into us. We forget because we get involved with the world of things. We see things as they are and lose the wonder of existence and what could be.
