PREFACE
BY KATHERINE WOODWARD THOMAS
To be inspired is to awaken to ourselves as integral parts of something so much larger than our own little lives. It is the quickening of purpose that springs from the depths of our souls. It is the recognition that our brief and precious lives have been given to us so that we might serve to actively midwife our unmanifest potentials for greater levels of goodness, truth, beauty, and love into the manifest world. It is the awakened understanding that we are not here as passive observers of life, or worse yet, as victims of the way things are, but rather, as the very vehicles through which the creative possibilities of what life could be, emerge.
