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?”
