Still working on this year’s compass, but I have enough to be going on with. Mystery for Christmas, Jubilation for Lammas and my birthday, and Inspiration for the whole year.
When I was thinking about this, I thought something like this: “I want something about space. Breathing space. Exactly that. That moment when you take a breath between verses. Oh. Yes. Of course. That’s what inspiration literally means.”
So I’m thinking of INSPIRATION as something active, something in which I can make a conscious effort to participate, not just something that happens to me. I have to say that it all feels a bit daunting at the moment, and perhaps I should put in something like RECOVERY or RETREAT at north east, but there’s still time to think about that, and in the meantime I’ll concentrate on the “breathing space” aspect of INSPIRATION.
