What inspires you?

I asked, “What inspires you?”

I heard nothing, but silence.

Then, one after another people began to share their perspectives.

With each shared perspective, I noticed myself becoming more and more in-tune with what was being said.

I noticed myself quietly listening and completely understanding.

“Stillness inspires me ... connecting with others inspires me ... knowing that I’m not alone inspires me ...”

I couldn’t help, but smile with each shared perspective.

I felt a sense of joy.

I felt inspired by these people.

I felt inspired by our ability, as a collective, to breathe life into each other. 

I felt inspired by our ability to create a space of curiosity and exploration.

I felt inspired by our ability to understand and appreciate each other along this journey called life.

Inspiration can be found in so many places. 

I’m curious, “What inspires you?”
