Inspiration
Inside is a world in a seed
Nestled in deep
Sown in the earth of heart and imagination
Patiently waiting for me to
Imbibe the necessary magic to
Reach its essence with a touch of source
And awaken its beauty
To share with the
Impatient world outside which seems
On a mission to rush and force
Not knowing only kindness and tenderness can awaken.
This poem was just written in response to the gift of fellow very inspiring blogger…
…who has blessed me with this award!
So, instead of seven random things about me, I’d like to share seven things that inspire me!
1 – Humour – like that shared yesterday by a friend who offered a presentation on the subject of his inner life and spiritual practices…far from serious, he had us all in fits of giggles!
2 – Beauty – in all her glorious forms.
3 – Honesty – I’ve been blessed to be witness to much open and honest sharing recently, people trusting me with stories of their lives which express the very essence of who they are – deeply moving and inspiring.
4 – Reading the poetry of Rumi and Hafiz – so old and yet so incredibly current – makes me recognise the irrelevance of time when true wisdom is being shared.
5 – Writing poetry on the hoof, spontaneously, in response to an inner or outer ‘request’ – as the poem above.
6 – ‘Coincidence’ – those moments when the Universe plays its beautiful game and you read exactly the poetry medicine you needed, meet exactly the person you had to speak to etc ad ‘inspiringly’ infinitum.
7 – You all! Reading the blogs I follow and the ones I spontaneously drop in on is a source of great inspiration to me…and I look forward to getting back to it when I finish this busy week…so please don’t feel neglected!
And here are some of those inspiring blogs – enjoy!

What inspires you dear friends?

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!! xo
My great pleasure:-) I hope others may benefit from being inspired by your writing as I have been.
PS, I love the list of things that inspire you!!
I can’t tell you how kind and thoughtful it is of you to post my blog on your page and also nominate me. Yesterday we took my mother-in-law to the emergency room for what looks might be a stroke. You gave me a much needed emotional boost this morning, even better than a cup of coffee (and for me that’s saying a lot)!
Wow, here is one of life’s beautiful ‘coincidences’ right:-) I’m very touched and so glad this gave you a ‘higher than caffeine’ boost! Many blessings of health and grace to your mother-in-law, and all those connected with her and supporting her right now.
Congratulations, Harula! You inspire me 😀
I love the line “On a mission to rush and force” – very powerful.
Your seven things would be near identical to the ones I would have chosen 😉
Let’s create a ‘mutual inspiration society’:-) Thanks Dianne for the detailed comment – and very cool that the things that inspire me resonated with you…it’s such a gift connecting with like minded folk:-)
ditto! you rock! 🙂
Aww, thanks Vanessa!! And thanks too for following my other blog, means a lot to me – bless you!!!
You ARE inspirational! The honor is well-deserved, and I’m glad I know you.
Wow, what a sweet thing to say, I’m choked hhhmmm (is that how you write clearing your throat?) I mean chuffed – thank you!
Hey Harula, thankyou soooooo much for nominating me, I’m both humbled and ultra chuffed, so, thankyou for making my day and adding a little pic to my widgets 🙂 I’m glad that you have found some inspiration from my spillages. Hope you have a great day…Luv Dawny 🙂
Hooray…it’s my great pleasure Dawny! Indeed I do find your spillages an inspiring and thought provoking read and I wish you a great day too:-) Blessings of joyful gratitude, Harula xxx
