I prefer to be a dreamer among the humblest, with visions to be realized, than lord among those without dreams and desires.
Khalil GibranRead
Inspiration will always sing; inspiration will never explain.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Inspiration is a powerful force that can motivate us, but it often defies rational explanation.
Khalil Gibran's quote highlights the ethereal nature of inspiration, suggesting that while it has the ability to resonate and uplift us, it doesnβt always lend itself to logical understanding or description. Inspiration is sensed and felt, like a song that enlivens our spirit, rather than a concept that can be precisely defined or analyzed.

The same worldview shift that is demanded by the resurrection of Jesus is the shift that will enable us to transform the world.
