“My heart’s given over to the Path You provide dipped in the lush fragrance of whispers aside.
Ground soft as petals, I feel no divide as All reaches in to keep, protect and to guide.”

INSPIRE
Inspiration and the act of sharing what inspires is something which I feel deeply about. To “inspire” means, literally – to inhale, from the Latin word, inspirate (in-spir-a-te) which a favorite word. It leads back to the inhalation of Spirit, which then we breathe forward, outward and share.

Thank you granfathersky. Your words mean very much to me. “The Wind”, for all of my life has been a vivid, real as well as ethereal experience since I was a girl. I used to “feel” brushing past me and feel Presence. I attribute everything after that to the Wind, which is like a Great Spirit and manifestation of the Beloved Divine. My foundation was called “Wyndom”, my site “HeartWinds”, everything honors the Divine and deeper Wind that seeks to reach and breath through us all. Your insight astounds me. Love to you, Linda

Linda,
This is one of my favourites of yours that I have read so far!
I just love the line “dipped in lush fragrance of whispers aside”.
Your work always leaves me with a feeling of peace deep inside, and on the occasions that peace eludes me I know it is possible because I have felt it.
Qnd I could walk in that picture and just keep on walking in the “lush fragrant whispers”.
Love
Christine

This one blows me away, Linda–the combination of the photo and your words is riveting, making me yearn to go there! I’m curious if there is a specific preparation you do to get to this place, or whether it just happens naturally–and you capture it, either on paper or screen? Whichever–it is so wonderfully rich. Thank you for your generosity in sharing it with us (I’m about to get all gushy…).

Yes, Caddo I do a specific preparation. First I publish the chosen photo, Then open a word writing program and place it next to the photo so that I see only blank text page and the photo onscreen. ….Then I feel a type of responsibility to carry much more than myself to the page and pray that the Greater Beloved use this space to inspire and add goodness to our world. I understand that I alone cannot declare any quote of Truth without attributing it to Its Source. I allow my heart to fill with love and gratitude to God. I wait in silence with no “thought” in my own mind. Then seeming to come from a space between my Heart and the black page, the first word or image arises. I don’t know what will come next but I type it. That opens the door to the rest. Then the words flow unimpeded. Lately, I enjoy, while still close to that “state of mind”, to write about the quote. Then I press, Publish! and pray that it reaches many hearts and is received with the Love from which it was gifted. Linda
