what inspires me?
something to think about,
something to consider.
I ask my dad,
"what inspires me?"
and for the first time,
I was scared to see how
I wasn't even aware of
the thing that drives my life
...whatever it is.
he responds quickly,
faster than I had expected.
"when you see a need,
that is what inspires you
that is what
drives you that is
what gives you purpose"
and so I sit reflecting on
what
inspires
me.
he knows me better than I know myself.
now I can see it.
I can see
why I applied for nursing school,
why I have gone on mission trips,
why I would rather be out with others
than in with myself.
why I do
what I do.
why I love
what I love.
it's all
about
need expressed
and help given.
that
is what
inspires me.
