Calling forth means to evoke, summon, or entice a response or emotion from someone or something. The term is often associated with moments of inspiration or creativity, as something is being drawn out from the depths of one's being. Some synonyms for calling forth may include eliciting, provoking, invoking or evincing. A way to call forth might be to inspire or motivate, to ignite or kindle, or even to incite and instigate. Whatever the method, the goal remains the same: to bring something forth from within - to summon it forth from the hidden places where it lies dormant, waiting to be called upon.
