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!
I am thinking more and more about the elements as living/divine beings and how I can be in better relationship with them. A friend and I are in the process of creating a workshop about this, so I will for sure be writing more and more about it. Truly, your post on inspiration has been so wonderful in my exploration of air. Thank you for 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!

Wow, thanks so much Jenna! I'm interested in your thoughts – is this a subject you've written about/will write about?
Hi Miles! This is a BIG subject for me. Here's a link to a post I did that includes one of my encounters with water: https://witchcraftandmetaphysics.substack.com/p/being-received

Oh Jenna, I feel like I want to say so much to this! I have been on such a deep journey with breath the past few years. Would love to connect! :)
I would LOVE that, Kaitlyn! I'll send you an email. Can't wait to discuss this! ❤️❤️
"inspiration is a necessary element of even the most humble life." Beautiful, Miles. I agree.
Thanks Zachary!
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.
Interesting, I didn't know that

I'm glad this was thought provoking for you Kaitlyn!
"Without a consistent stream of awe, insight, and joy, our spirits asphyxiate" resonated with me today. Also, the Berryessa Valley photo is amazing!
Thanks Sab! Isn't it? Always brings me back home mentally
Very insightful Miles, I like how you relate art and life to your writing.
Thanks Giorgio!
