In the context of discussion of inspiration, this is a perfect case demonstrating how inspiration can come from anywhere.
You read a passage and it inspires greater meaning. I am reading The Adventure of Tom Sawyer and the chapter where tom has to paint a fence has inspired several thoughts about my career aspirations.
In the spirit of your original post, there is something wonderful about forging new connections with inspiration.
