Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead. | |
— Louisa May Alcott | |
[This was partially the inspiration for one of my own poems: “Julie’s Poem“. Small world that it is, I bumped into Julie several years ago when I went to the local emergency room about my heart. She was the triage nurse on duty. I like to think she had some small part in getting me treated quickly and helped to save my life. | |
(Way back in the ’70’s,) Julie had heard I wrote poems and didn’t believe it so she asked (challenged) me to write one. I sat down and wrote the poem “for” her (not inspired by her) – hence the title. — KMAB] | |
