Am still thinking about this one...

Inspiration - both artistic and poetic. I enjoy creating new things, painting, writing. I need the fire of inspiration to get me started, otherwise I just stare at the page.

Information.  The day I don't want to learn something new will be the day someone needs to make sure I'm still breathing.

Lots of things are, but the two that I'm particularly aware of are helping others tell their stories (and be heard), and finding connections in the world. Those two things link my academic work, are my reason for doing my podcast, and keep me curious and wanting to learn. And I never want to stop being curious.

Yesterday I had one of those wonderful, rare moments when things come together on something that you're working on, and you see the connections, all bright and clear, like light passing through a prism. It's those moments that help me keep going with the PhD research. There aren't too many of them, but sometimes you make a discovery, and it makes all the grunt work worth it. That fuels me, inspires me, carries me.

This is probably going to sound really strange (and possibly stupid)...

I have two things. A love of learning is one. I love learning new things. The other, rather strange one, is caring. That keeps me going through everything. Caring about others and, knowing that there are some people that care about me, it gives me a reason. A reason and the energy to get up, to carry on with my life.

Caring and compassion are the most important things in my life.

Why is that strange?  I think it's beautiful.

I don't think that's strange or stupid, either. I love how you've got a balance of Dark Flame and Bright Flame there.

Passion. It pretty much leads me wherever I go and becomes a roaring inferno that is fed on the study of/implementation of/participating in anything else that nutures my flame. It seems to be the route of my being and I spent a long time trying to "temper" it when really it's what helped me overcome a lot in my life and continue to grow and put myself out there when necessary.
