Special Photo Challenge: Inspiration

                     Special Photo Challenge: Inspiration

From WordPress: “For this special mid-week photo challenge, we want to see portraits of you doing something that inspires you to blog…” (underscoring supplied)

   In other words, this WordPress photo challenge is asking for a picture of the Wordpress-user, preferably an action shot that answers what WordPress wants to know: What (i.e., what activity) is your Muse? i was originally going to use photos from files, i have hundreds… That took a long time, choosing and deciding and second-guessing. Then i finally decided — Here it is, this was shot two days ago, i had intended to use it  for November 30, Philippine National Heroes Day and birth anniversary of Philippine hero Andres Bonifacio. It’s a 21st century variation of an ancient yoga pose called vira, which is Sanskrit for “hero”. But i saw the WordPress prompt. And i was inspired. i produced this while watching how the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas was successfully brokered by Egypt (see post below a couple of hours ago). And i am inspired. 

Blogging is like a yoga pose.

You inhale to live

You exhale to surge.

— that’s my head, and that would be part of my lead if i were to write a news report: i’ll lead off with Egypt: it is successfully exercising leadership in the region and enjoys the respect and recognition of the warring parties. 

     (reports  from CNN, which aired the press con live from Egypt, their headline is “Israel-Hamas ceasefire to begin at the top of the hour”)
