Quote by Aaron Copland

Inspiration may be a form of super-consciousness, or perhaps of subconsciousness -- I wouldn't know. But I am sure it is the antithesis of self-consciousness.

Inspiration may be a form of super-consciousness, or perhaps

Summary

This quote suggests that inspiration is a state of mind that is opposite to self-consciousness. It implies that inspiration arises from a level of consciousness beyond our normal awareness, whether it be the super-conscious or subconscious. In other words, when we are truly inspired, we are not preoccupied with our own thoughts, insecurities, or self-awareness. Instead, inspiration allows us to tap into a higher understanding or creativity that transcends our ego, leading to a flow of ideas or actions that come naturally and effortlessly.

You will find out that Charity is a heavy burden to carry, heavier than the kettle of soup and the full basket. But you will keep your gentleness and your smile. It is not enough to give soup and bread. This the rich can do. You are the servant of the poor, always smiling and good-humored. They are your masters, terribly sensitive and exacting master you will see. And the uglier and the dirtier they will be, the more unjust and insulting, the more love you must give them. It is only for your love alone that the poor will forgive you the bread you give to them.

I think there is a real misconception about Indian food being super spicy. And I know that's because when you go into an Indian restaurant, it is pretty spicy. But it doesn't have to be. In fact, my husband can't handle a lot of heat. I've had to temper my cooking so that he can eat with me.
