Breath

It's delightfully ironic to me that a word we use to describe the physical process of drawing breath into ourselves to stay alive, "aspiration", is the same word that defines the emotional  pursuit of our hopes and dreams.

A hope and a dream. What is it to you?  For the person who carries one in their heart  it is a glowing ember, carefully guarded and nurtured, waiting to be fanned into the bonfire of reality so others may see and benefit from its light and warmth. It burns the heart and soul and warms the exhaled air of the dreamer with excitement, purpose and reason for existence.

 With each breath there is a feeling inside, a primal yearning that transcends explanation, to draw closer, to reaching for more, for better, for the impossible,  physically, mentally and spiritually. It's the itch of curiosity that begs to be scratched, the emotional hunger that is never satisfied, the spiritual place that must be traveled to and the social purpose that yearns to become reality.

The pursuits of those who dream big dreams and reach for lofty goals is as necessary as the breath of life itself, for without these pursuits they, we, would not, could not, claim to be fully alive. As certainly as aspiration fuels the body inspiration fuels the soul of those who hope and dream. #michaelddavis
