'Idal (Justice), 7 Raḥmat (Mercy), 173 BE - Wednesday, June 29, 2016 about 11:45 AM Pacific Daylight Time
The
writing.com newsletters arrived in my inbox today. The title of the
Spiritual newsletter was "Spiritual but not Religious?" And discussed
the difference between spirituality and religion. The title of the short story newsletter was "What Happened?" and discussed inspiration resulting from news stories. The questions at the end of the short story newsletter whether the news inspired the reader even if the story were bad.
These
two newsletters got me to thinking about what inspires me. After a few
minutes of meditation I realized that some of my inspiration comes from
news stories, my religion, and my quest for spirituality. I also receive
inspiration from taking morning walks. However, it is my religion and
quest for spirituality that produce the most inspiration.
I
am one of those people who is both religious and spiritual. I know that
a person can feel spiritual awe if he or she is not religious, however,
with me my spiritual pursuits
go hand-in-hand with my religions. I have found, that even when a news
story inspires me, my spiritual beliefs tend to show up in my finished
work.
