I close my eyes
and feel the ocean pull me in,
the magic of what's to come
washes over me.
Deeper I go into the possibilities
of all that can be, all that can happen.
But I hear the whispers of doubt
begin to drift into my mind.
I try my best to reject them,
push them down and out of the way,
but the more I resist the stronger it all is
and soon the fear has a hold over me.
I am cold with doubt,
broken by fear
and grieving the dreams now lost.
The ocean pushes me under
with the rest of those who gave up too soon,
she doesn't favor the weak.
And I will forever be here
living in regret
and drowning in doubt.

Building A Better Tomorrow
In the field which I work in, I have learned many things, and of those things, I would most certainly say that the most valuable tool I have in my arsenal, which has the greatest capability of helping to not just bridge the gaps, that exist when communication barriers are present, it allows for the true establishment of authentic connection, this tool is none other than Compassion. I take time each and every morning, to reflect on the experiences I have had, and when I began doing this initially, I had much more than yesterday to reflect on, I had years of trauma which had been left in the darkness, having had no light truly shed upon them for a substantial duration of time. When something happens to us, of either a smaller less significant impact, or something of a greater, more significant impact, we must always ensure that we take the time to analyze, and process these events, regardless of how big or little they may be.
