Snowy Day
By: Karlton A. Armistad
[Dedicated to Winter 2020]
1.
Sloshy slippery wonderland wintery slices of snow, cover my path though there’s nowhere to go. Bringing in a crisp and crackly breeze, kissing my lips & making me sneeze. The rolling hills show no signs you will let up, as I rifle through my trifle looking for the right get-up.
2.
The river flows with steady control, as you fall over trees so tall, giving each a lush wintery white coat. From the warmth of my kitchen, I watch the happy children play, as snowy days are meant for this in every single way.
3.
They build a Mr. Snowman, and riotous snowball fights. They jump and prance as the shy deer in the backdrop dance trying to skate across the ice. A hot and homely cup of Cocoa with marshmallows & whipped cream, set my mood and body soothed as my nose is tickled by its steam.
End.

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.
