Unconnected layers
our society of multi connections
Un-connecting lives that have nothing in common.
No connection under that number, long gone.
Connecting with others, now that is my achille's heel!
Overly engaged in multi connections?
Negating the obvious would be daft
Navel gazing, basking in the sun.
Engaging in over connections, spreading our energies to the wind.
Can make us ill.
Too much of anything
Is not good for us.
Novelty can sweeten the pill.
Gorging on too much, can poison our will.
Laying on the sand,
Acknowledging my loss,
Yes, it is over.
Engaged in disconnecting, with a hand supporting my head.
Every atom of my being learning to breathe again.
Rest a while! This is only about you.
See around the bend, a ray of sunshine.

Turning Pages of Life
Life’s like a book — some parts are good, others not so much. Still, keep turning the pages; you might find the best chapter next. If someone hurts you, choose to forgive or just let it be, but never change who you are for them.

High Rise, Deep Impact
I have witnessed a death that I relive every time I step into an elevator. Although it no longer affects me as deeply—given that it's been 11 years since the incident—it remains a heart- rending memory from my first and last day as a paramedic. My initial call to the scene involved a man who seemed to have fallen down the elevator shaft of a high-rise building. Alternatively, it might have been that the elevator moved upwards while he was working on it. Different scenarios were being considered when I arrived.
