Spire — a tapering conical or pyramidal structure on top of a building, such as a church tower. We tend to see a spire as something spiritual, majestic. What about “spire” as a root word? Part of aspire, inspire, respire — also spiritual and majestic. To aspire, we are reaching upward, seeking that which is beyond our grasp. To inspire, we are lifting others upward, moving them to break boundaries into unknown possibilities. To respire is to breathe, to absorb the essence of life.
What is the spire we see when we look up? What is it that urges us to reach for the pinnacle? Each of us has goals that are individual, specific, meaningful to us. We have the power to choose the direction. Spiral upward!!
