Inspiration Abounds


It seems like lately everyone is looking for some kind of inspiration. Whether it comes from a new leader or a small child, inspiration is as important in life as air or water. For a young writer, the best source of inspiration is other writers; other people who suffer the same paralyzing fear, the same need to spill words on a page and smear them around into a thing of beauty. For a young writer, my favorite source of inspiration is a small book, thin and unassuming, by a master poet (and I'm not even that big of a poetry fan).

Letters To a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke could be the most beautiful piece of writing I've ever read. Deep and poignant, even for non-writers, non-artists, non-poets, it reaches to the depths of youthful exuberance and emotion, pulling threads out you never knew existed. Beautiful and profound at once, Rilke's letters to a young protege poet bring out the essence of writing, creativity, and life itself.

Happy Reading,
Julia

Next I've picked out Dennis Violet who played for the reds of Manchester in no fewer than 291 games during the Busby Babes period. Violet amassed 178 goals and was one of the lucky players that didn't perish in the Munich disaster. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]arsenal football[/url] Many famous sports personalities trace their roots to Manchester but there are too many to mention here. Aside from successfully hosting the Commonwealth Games in 2002, Manchester has tried to host the Olympic Games twice but were beaten by Atlanta in 1996 and Sydney in 2000. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]vidic[/url] The current home games Manchester United shirt is red with a vertical, white stripe on the reverse. A patch with the words "The Red Devils" on a picture of the club's famous devil mascot is sewn onto to the bottom-left of the jersey. By contrast, the away shirt in use today is white with blue piping at the edges. It has red trim on the neck and the club emblem is on a white background on the left breast. The club emblem is pictured on a white background shield situated on the left breast. The emblem has been altered through the years but was originally designed based on the crest of the City of Manchester. One day Matt Busby was watching a local rugby team in Salford and was impressed by their flair and adventure on the pitch. When he discovered their nickname was "The Red Devils" he decided to attach it to his Manchester United team.
