inspire me.

Birds pass by to tell me that I'm not alone
Well, I'm pushing myself to finish this part, I can handle a lot
But one thing I'm missing is in your eyes

inspiration.

random, nonsensical, meaningless, or meaningful?

being outside inspires me.

sun, rain, clouds, wind, night, day, dark, cool, bright, warm, whatever it may be... it all serves to inspire...to provoke thought and wonder, to cause feelings that could never begin to brew had i stayed inside.

books inspire me.

there are so many good books just waiting to be devoured and so little time. here are the new and old things i love about reading:

i love that it introduces you to worlds you've never known before. i love that reading takes you into other people's lives and you get to feel with them.

if we are brave enough to go there, there are so many worlds we can come to know and better understand through reading a book.

i'm not putting limits on what i read any more. i have been conditioned to judge a book by its cover, or to steer clear of books that really delve into "real" life stuff.

but i find when i read those books...my eyes are opened, my heart is changed, and i am a more empathetic being. a lot can happen when acting and praying in and with empathy.

what else inspires?
