Inspiration is all around us. It could be found in acts of generosity from a complete stranger or in a witty conversation from a barista hell-bent on making you laugh about your choice of sandwich filling and whether you are partial to a smear of mustard or not.
Inspiration could also be found in the potted life history of an elderly traveler sitting next to you on the train, or a surprisingly positive interaction with a person you would probably cross the road to avoid but with whom you are thrown together on a long-haul journey with no means of escape.
