Inspire

Inspire


I’ll keep this post short, as I’m hoping you’ll all take the time to listen to this performance piece by fifteen year-old poet, Noah St, John. I ran into it on fellow SCBWI member, Lee Wind’s blog & found Noah to be an inspiration.

Inspire came to English in the 1350s in the form of enspiren & primarily meant to fill the mind or heart with grace. I hope you’re able to eke out six minutes to watch it. I also hope it fills your mind or heart with grace.

 




My thanks go out to this week’s sources the OED, Lee Wind’s Blog & Etymonline,

    Hi Anne, Lee, Steve & Christine,
    Thanks. I'm so glad he's getting some buzz. The triumph of a family's love, even with all the quirks inherent in the word family, really is a thing to behold.
