Is inspiration something far bigger than ourselves?
I have often thought about the word inspiration. As many of my readers would probably be aware I place a great deal of emphasis of the role I see both personal and cosmic awareness have in our lives. Up to this point I have not considered where the word inspire may fit into this idea of mine.
My dictionary tells me the word inspiration means “…a person or thing that inspires, or a clever or timely idea.” Somehow I feel such words tend to trivialize the profound nature of what the word inspiration was probably originally intended to mean. I’ve drawn this conclusion having read one of my favorite authors; Benjamin Walker. I can strongly identify with Walkers words. It is possible my readers may similarly enjoy the manner in which Walker set out to determine his views about what the word inspiration should be. I believe Albert Einstein would probably agree with him.
