Some say that it's the musician and composer who are inspired, others say it's music that inspires. No need to debate. It's like sharing the air we breathe. Isn't that the meaning of the word "in-spire"? The composer/musician inhales the inspiration of whatever muse presents itself. Then exhales the most exquisitely inspirational music, that touches everyone who listens as they in turn are in-spired.

It doesn't matter what kind of music inspires you, it's what it does to you that matters. Music can open your eyes, make you think, make you think more deeply. Music can energize you, fill otherwise empty moments, and keep you company. 

The same is true of joy. A song can make us realize, "that's what I needed!" when we had no idea. We don't realize what we bottle up inside, until it's been set free and we feel the sense of relief, cleansing, and renewal.

So explore your music world. Close your eyes and really listen. And then open yourself up and let the music inspire you.
