I Want to be Inspired

One thing that I do a lot, aside from the everyday things that I do,
is to be on the lookout for things that inspire.
I spend a lot of time reading books, watching movies, or surfing on-line.
Sometimes the search just goes on and on.
I can't bring myself to stop.
I can't stop because there is nothing in the pages/movies/stories that move me.

I want to feel inspired, I want to feel the earth shake under my feet,
I want to feel different about this world than I had a minute ago.
So many times it just doesn't happen.
I look for pictures in magazines, in newspapers.
I search for design everywhere.
Many days I come up empty handed.
I go to bed disappointed.
Flipping the pages of the book that sits on my nightstand,
for that one last hope before I call it a day.

I want to feel the world around me.
To know that someone, or something is doing an amazing, a remarkable thing.
Something that will take my breath away.
Something that inspires, something that is so surreal that nothing needs to be said.
The wonder that cannot be expressed in words.
Something that is beyond language that can only be felt, experienced, jolted, shaken, thrown out of my seat.
Something that is so unimaginable that leave me with nothing but tears.

Those moments make me feel alive.
A sense of "wow" that is so endearing and totally and overbearingly powerful.
It transcends one's being, and lifts one out of the ordinary and thrusts one into the world of the unspeakable.
You feel pain because it is so wonderful, so beautiful, so much so that you want to embrace it, touch it, and never to let it go.
You want it to be imprinted on you, to be there in you always.
Time needs to stop.  In that moment.
I am here.  It is understood without saying.
I am here.  I understand.  You.

Will it be a redeeming night?
