inspiration
Sunday, December 11, 2005
Here's the first of two edits from school essays. Felt that I expressed myself best in these two.
Inspiration. It came upon me like a resurgent wave, each time stronger than the last. It flooded my mind, washed it clean of any shred of doubt i had of myself. Each ebb and flow pulled me inch by inch further into its stronghold, and i embraced it.
editInspiration. It is lik ea cyclone. It whips you up, tosses you around, strikes fear in you simply bdcause it is so overwhelming. Suddenly, you find yourself in its eye. All is quiet. You know not what to expect because you have never felt this way before. You fear the worst, that inspiration will ravage you and give you and irrational sense of confidence. But inspiration does not come to those who cling to fear. Inspiration is the spirit that frees the hearts of those who can.
editInspiration. I doubted its presence surrounding me. How could I, when it is a passionate fire buring within me? It is constantly spurring me to do more, to do better, to work harder. Sometimes, I feel so tired. It fills me with the longing to do so much but sometimes, when I try, I stumble and fall. It is at these times when I feel low, that I am inspired by those closest to me, my parents, my pillars of strength, to stand up again and rise above the rest.
