Inspirations

It’s a gray day,

out there,

damp and gray,

not very inspiring.

So,

here are some,

things,

people,

places,

that inspire me,

Snoopy,

an irreverent,

optimist,

and  fellow aspiring writer,

It Was A Dark And Stormy Night:-)

In spite of,

tough odds,

and,

pig headed,

short sighted,

opposition,

he maintains,

his pragmatic,

cool.

An amazing wife,

undoubtedly,

has something,

to do with it:-)

He lived,

through,

what would have,

crushed,

ordinary men.

New Orleans,

kicks in the face,

punches to the gut,

loosing everything,

and yet,

they can still party,

now that, my friends,

is spirit!!

New York firefighters,

they lost so many,

on the day the world,

went mad,

and they still run,

into burning buildings.

Courage, Bravery,

inspiration.

Underpaid,

under appreciated,

essential,

molding the future.

The highest,

the most arduous.

We must keep reaching,

and striving.

Care about the Planet.

Because,

sport,

inspires,

unites,

teaches you,

even in peripherie,

as a fan,

the thrill of victory,

and,

the agony of defeat,

it’s important to loose,

with grace,

and learn from defeat.

Home,

sometimes,

rusty,

but,

still,

Home,

for better, for worse.

A very small sampling,

of what inspires me.

Friends, family, love and books,

these I figured,

you knew,

were more,

than inspiration,

they are my foundation,

that on which,

my house,

is built.

So, what inspires you?

Later girls,

BB

  1. What inspires me? Music, words, books, art, design, sunlight, water, birds, animals, women’s smiles, curves, life, grace, slow, steady heart beats, (thump … thump … thump) great conversations, kindness, kid’s logic, take-off and landing in airplanes, beautiful Japanese handmade paper, trust, love, love and more love, holding hands, great Italian wines, great sake, good food, espresso.. poetry, first few days of summer, mountains, rocks, stones, forests, wonder, spider webs… reading stories to each other out loud … shall I continue?

    Life. And the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

  2. Ditto Mel…great post BB…NOLA’s partying an inspiration…Cool! I’m sure that all the folk would be happy to continue to provide as much inspirations as you need by continuing to party at the drop of a hat…any hat,…:-)
