The Poet's Curse
A poetic interpretation of the artist's struggle
Words swirling around me churning thoughts
that never stop every minute
fitting together the pieces
to construct its gigantic mound
of a jigsaw puzzle
and I can't help but wonder
working diligently with his brothers
each word one of a million tiny shards
or a telescope used to view a fire ant
is it like this
In noise cancellation mode
in a thousand colors
2nd generation AirPod Pros
for every creative soul?
like white noise generated by my
with no picture to use as a guide
drowning out my wife's question
deafening voices
struggling to pull into focus
cracking its 3 telephoto lenses
the details of the most mundane task
dropped carelessly on a concrete sidewalk
in my waking life
like a space grey iPhone 15 max
(as I try to get my finger
of my high-efficiency washing machine)
to push the start button

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.
