Sources of Inspiration
"When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds; your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be."
From the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, 2nd century BCE Hindu philosopher.
Awen, the flowing spirit of inspiration and creativity, is the key to the Druid path. As the quotation from Patanjali suggests, inspiration may be defined as that which raises the human soul towards a state of joy, wonder and ecstasy. The sources from which we draw inspiration may differ for each of us, but the feelings raised in us by those sources will be essentially the same.
