Inspire........
Inhale
Let it permeate all senses
Butterflies in one's stomach
Adrenalin rushes
Urge leads to action
Could be the warmth of someone's kindness
that says. "Pay it forward."
Could be dazzling colors and textures in a garden
saying, "Listen closely, watch, and then do."
Could be soldiers who carry on day after day
no matter how challenging or monotonous
Could be the blind student who's happy and
not afraid to try anything new
Maybe it's all of these moments and glimpses
into how we can create and be the best we can be
Live. Give. Love.
STOP

Beautiful post, Leigh...and yes, it's all about being the best we can be.

Hi Leigh! So nice to visit here! I'm your neighbour in FMF #78. I so enjoyed your post and poetry. You're right, there are so many reasons to be inspired—we really should learn from each other.
ReplyDeleteLoved this: "Maybe it's all of these moments and glimpses into how we can create and be the best we can be." So true.
Have a great week!
