Aspire~ Inspire~ Share~ “To Challenge the Still” ~Inspirations by Linda Willows
“…Comes a time when we are dared to float or sink; standing alone as Captains in mid-sea with crafts of our own. Deep waters rise to challenge the still, the mast, our steering and the might of our will. Called to Home; we are turning, re-journeying, granting faith’s due refill.”©2012 Linda Willows
The Inspirational Posts are dedicated to the fragile yet eminent power in each of us to rise in Love, Heal with the Power and Grace of God and find our own core of spirit, mercy and compassion. We aspire to ignite the beauty of Soul infused with an Awakened Heart, and the humble beginnings of eternal birth, here, so near, not a breath apart. Offered by Linda Willows, words pour as, passion, prayer, with tears or great joy, with longing to give form to the winds of Spirit as they sweep through a heart, bowed to open. Love, Linda
Oh, Linda–completely swept me away into the rising sun, this did! I KNOW today more than ever that the “boat” I must steer into port is my writing-boat! Bless you for such inspired prodding!

Thank you Julie. Do you know the powerful poem Invictus, which includes “I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.”
by William Ernest Henley

It’s been a long time since I read that poem – I looked it up to refresh my memory of it. Such a powerful poem that speaks to the indomitable human spirit to overcome all difficulties. It’s very inspirational!
