This is so wonderful, Miles, thank you! I've been spending a lot of time thinking about Air recently (as in the classic element), wanting to have a deeper understanding of how to relate with it the way I do with Water. There is SO much here in your post that helps me with that!
"Or, they themselves become the medium, the vehicle for an elemental force that begins to move through them. They become a force of nature." This is it - to become that which we seek. How inspiration or a vision becomes form.
Life asks to meet us in so many ways, and I suppose to be one with inspiration, we must answer and meet life in all of those same ways. I'm contemplating so much from your words, thank you!

"inspiration is a necessary element of even the most humble life." Beautiful, Miles. I agree.
Theopneustos in Greek, “theos” is “ God” and “pneusto” is “breathe out”.
In the context of the Scriptures, “inspiration” simply means “God-breathed”. There is a heavenly quality of inspired work.

"Without a consistent stream of awe, insight, and joy, our spirits asphyxiate" resonated with me today. Also, the Berryessa Valley photo is amazing!
Very insightful Miles, I like how you relate art and life to your writing.
