Intro It's funny how powerful words can be when the world is out of tune. I clear my voice to tell you how words have penetrated my mind, and they have made me rethink choices, make changes, and become an advocate for healthy living. Now...how I came about these texts is merely coincidental.

A Matrix of Change
There used to be a time when there were limited ways to share a poem: type it, photocopy it, or say it aloud. Of course we know these are what's now referred to as "Dinosaur Methods". I quickly found this out when my son laughed me out of his room after I so proudly shared a Facebook post where I had photo shot a picture of my poem. It was this moment that inspired me to find 'new millennium' ways to share my work. Yes, my timeshare in my comfort zone was bound to be rented by my fearless way forward.

Walks in the Park
Sometimes we can only regard a place for the ways we have experienced it. Literature has depicted the connection of observing nature to walking and prolific thought since times millennium. Whitman was always good for this, and I guess that's why I love to read his works. There is something that happens as one hears the crunch of leaves under foot as one foot is put before the other. Although an adult, you are an infant walking while ideas totter and jostle in the mind. Senses become enlivened in a way I can only attempt to describe as a repetitious experience that seems familiar and foreign in each encounter. I believe the mind becomes fit as transcendentalism comes to fruition--then, enlightenment.
