Where Beauty Lies
How quiet is it really when you start to listen to your soul?
Everything is so loud in the silence
The beating of wings deafening
The child's voice roaring a song-scream
The wind in the Heavens thunderous
The turning of my pages cacophony
Even my breath is audible,
The beating of my heart a living tremble
The twittering of birds doubly loud
And wind chimes an entire orchestra alone
The garden is a bustling city
Leaves skittering like New York traffic
Across the concrete patio
Bees buzzing eat up the quiet
But the silence in my peaceful mind
Is absolute.

What I Would Do if I Joined Vocal Today
I'd do things a bit different if I joined Vocal today instead of February 2021. For one thing; the platform itself has changed quite a lot. Acting on input from its writer/creators many enhancements to the reporting, pay structure, engagement, and even ownership possibilities are now in place. (Yes- I am aware that not every change has been greeted with approval. This is not that: I am focusing on what I would do differently today.)
