Nature, purity, Inspiration and spirit
Inspiration, what a word. Since I was little I think about words, the meaning and how we use them, right or wrong. Words are just that words, I believe they only exist to describe what we feel because we have lost the capability to feel each others needs. I believe words are from origin not to express emotions or feelings but to be used in a more clinical informational way. Feelings can barely be expressed by words. With the deep emotions i find in myself everyday I am lacking words to describe them. My love for the little things for example. A sweet blossoms smell, spread by the wind, far from where the blossom is located. I called it a little thing for many don’t even notice that or care for it. To me its huge. A message from within to pay attention to. A long lost memory that awakens. The beauty of what feelings it creates inside me, I simply cant describe with words. Hurting is another emotion I don’t have words enough for to describe whats going on inside me. Yet my current homework asks me for words for my emotions and a description of them.
And that brings me to the word inspiration. What inspires us usually comes from within, either awakened by someone else or to use my above example, the wind. I am more then anything inspired, not by words but by thoughts, feelings and emotions, pure and natural things. I’m someone who likes to dream but keep my feet both grounded because I refuse to lose touch with reality. Some people say to be inspired by religion. I can go deep n far on that but now is not the time. To keep it simple and short I believe in whats in my heart. I believe in right and wrong. I believe in honesty and fair. I believe in nature and purity. Who the judge is of all that? My own heart, my own soul my own spirit. And there it is, what I was aiming for at the start of this post. To put it in my own words before I even googled it, Inspiration grew out of spirits, be that be our own or someone elses.
Now quoting because of course I did my homework;
from: http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=inspiration
inspiration (n.) c. 1300, “immediate influence of God or a god,” especially that under which the holy books were written, from Old French inspiracion “inhaling, breathing in; inspiration” (13c.), from Late Latin inspirationem (nominative inspiratio), noun of action from past participle stem of Latin inspirare “blow into, breathe upon,” figuratively “inspire, excite, inflame,” from in- “in” (see in- (2)) + spirare “to breathe” (see spirit (n.)).
The sense evolution seems to be from “breathe into” to “infuse animation or influence,” thus “affect, rouse, guide or control,” especially by divine influence.Inspire (v.) in Middle English also was used to mean “breath or put life or spirit into the human body; impart reason to a human soul.” Literal sense “act of inhaling” attested in English from 1560s. Meaning “one who inspires others” is attested by 1867.
I find myself being inspired constantly, in growth, in wisdom, in strength and in health. And with that being said Im gonna end my post with these words. Be inspirational but be sure its not your demons speaking but your spirit.
