In the end it is all we have – aspirations – a steadfast longing, an earnest desire for a higher goal.
The earliest recorded use of the word ‘aspiration’ dates from c. 1600, and derives from an earlier use meaning ‘to strive for’ from the Latin aspirationem, meaning literally – to blow or breathe into.

Did you create the image here? It reminds me of a famous Matisse.

Thinking of the spiritual dimension of breath, it’s not surprising- but hadn’t thought of the word connection either.
Believe it or not, the image was made by artificial intelligence from my verbal instruction.
