The Glow
- Published in Be Inspired Blog
A powerful reflection of the strength of the human spirit
It was in the summer of 2021 that the inspiration to write "The Glow" came. I remember the moment well. I was finishing up a workout at the gym one Sunday afternoon. While I was stretching this vision popped into my head and the feeling that came with it would spark the words that would follow. Over the years I've had inspired ideas come like this in moments where my mind is relaxed and indirectly focused on an activity that is very familiar. This particular inspired idea seemed to just show up without warning. I've learned that when this happens, whether it be a song or a piece of writing like this, I simply allow it to come through without judgment or manipulation.
That Sunday afternoon I recall rushing home and sitting down to capture the concept on paper. The following day I completed the writing and shortly after created the poster image with the words written to share on my socials. It's been a couple years now and in the last few days I've been feeling the pull to share it once again. This time in both written and audio/visual form. (see below) It may certainly have relevance in the times we are living in and the future path that lies ahead.
Author Elisabeth Gilbert wrote a book called "Big Magic" in which she talks about these moments of inspiration that seem to be floating around out there in this conscious space waiting for someone to catch them and bring them into form. In some ways it does feel like some sort of a magical process or what I like to refer to as a "divine download". It's a process that I'm so grateful to have experienced many times over the years.
When you read The Glow I hope it speaks to you the way it did me on the day it was created. A powerful message of the human spirit and the strength that lies within.
