alive

                                             What sets you alive? What lights you up?
For me, it's writing. For me, it's the way the words pour out onto the page, and the fierce, uncrushable hope that words can change lives and open eyes. The way that words become real- ink on paper becomes living breathing, stories. The way I've learned the deep capacity of my mind and soul to bring this power to life- how will I use it? What will I do with all the words inside of me? I don't know yet. I'm still waiting for it to unfold.
                               But what about you? What lights you up and sets you alive?
