Would it Kill You to Focus on Yourself?
Sometimes
But I’m just talking about myself. Not you.
That You I wrote up there is just Me…I'm talking to me.
Because You — are not my business.
Because its 02/02/2022 and I made the deliberate intention to stay out of Your business.
To focus on my Self. Not in a selfish way.
But in the way that is the only thing I have control over.
And even that is a challenge.
As for You:
Media, politics, power symbols, friends, colleagues, students and family, articles, books, trends, shoulds....
You are Higher and Lower powers, the whole outside.
I wish You only the best.
You are no longer my responsibilty.
I am not a seive in 2022. I am not Swiss Cheese or a garbage disposal.
I’m a full cup and I can give at will — but not give my self away.
And if I do —
that’s
On Me.

On Winning and Losing
Recently, the pleasant surprise of placement on the Vocal Bonus Leaderboard sent me down a rabbit hole. Now, rabbit holes are a pretty common place for me to spend time, but I don't always feel the call to write about them. To be honest, the thought of sharing some of them mortifies me.
