Inspiration


In thinking about our day we may face indecision. We may not be able to determine which course to take. Here we ask God for inspiration, an intuitive thought or a decision. We relax and take it easy. We don't struggle. We are often surprised how the right answers come after we have tried this for a while. (Alcoholics Anonymous, page 86)
"Inspiration, an intuitive thought or a decision."
Odd grouping. Are they equals, parts of the whole?
Is it a sequence from inspiration to gut feeling to choice?
Or is the optimum first, followed by sequentially lessers?
Inspiration can be the intake of breath, but breath —
breathe and soul are, well, soul mates.
Pneumatic may mean operated by gas,
but pneuma is the creative force of a person – or Power.
Breathe on me, Breath of God, blend my soul with yours
so your thought becomes my own and the required action
surprises and delights.
