Inspire is about imagination. It might be an idea that lights up your imagination; or it could be an object that gives you added sensory response, and your imagination kicks in. It opens up possibility. Imagination takes us out of our present situation to think that the less possible could become real.
New is what brings to mind when we talk about “inspire”. This is saying something new, or a new way, or method, or format of something will come, or has come. It also makes us accept something re-newed to give us more enjoyment, or even new challenges that take us to new places, making us grow to know the vastness of creation. God’s creation.
The rain stopped. Even the windows and metal parts from the disused factory are reflecting the sun rays. Does not “inspire” bring about unexpected things? What other Surprises do you suggest?
Surprises can move us that we take a second look about the object or event that has caught our attention. The cat finds a new Position to observe something curious in the garden next door. It is ready to pounce, but not yet, it’s staying at the Position, swinging from patient to impatient and back, but definitely it is at the Position to decide best course of action.
Having a close look or experience of the idea that inspires us, we might want to stay at the moment, Inspect and soak up all the good things from this thing or event that inspires us.
- Why does it get our attention in the first place?
- Does this event or object lead us to have a different idea about ourselves?
Rejecting it might have to be a decision we make about this thing that inspired us in the first place. It might work at a different time later, or with others. It might be for the better of us; in this case, perhaps holding on to it is a bad idea – we might think about it on and on for days. Rejecting it, or for now, could be a good decision.
Something that inspires us would be something that is Extensive. This could be strong impact or one that affects many areas of our routine or life. A strong impact could be that we meditate over it for several days, and it comes up in our conversations with others. Something that affects us in an extensive way could be permanently to always turn off our handphone or such other mobile devices when we go to sleep, so we don’t get notifications or such other rings or beeps that keep us awake.
What Inspire that is:
- Stirring Imagination
- New
- Surprising
- Demanding Position
- Worth Inspecting
- Rejectable
- Extensive?
