Feeling and analyzing as the inchoate rises in my mind.
I’m leaning into what arrives.
Layering thoughts to complete some insight.
I’m crafting wisdom.
Nothing is random in expression.
I’m sharing what’s important.
Who does it touch?
I’m hoping it’s you.

It’s the place underneath the obvious.
I wanna go deep.
Time to overcome this unease.
I wanna be still.
To excise the superficial, project the truth.
I wanna be real.
To let the music carry me on its wings.
I wanna feel free.
Reveal the tenderness and compassion buried in my pain.
I wanna be me…
I wanna be happy.

Life is an ever-changing plan of existence.
Let’s sing a song of acceptance, being perfect already.
The layers of uniqueness, whatever the condition,
accept them, revel in them, love them, and Just Be you.
It’s not perfect, but it’s mine. Tim Minchin

Whistleblowers: justice-driven, ethical and honest, make up splashy news headlines.
Lying is the death of truth.
Inner thoughts, the silent mental unpacking.
May we all decide to be on the side which enriches our being and the lives of others. Growth and learning to be and remain humane is a choice. This piece holds such truth in these few short lines, I’m tempted to memorize it and choose it as a daily affirmation.

I Am Until It is that I am complicit until I am not, I am a lover until I am not, I am justice unti I am not, I am compassion until I am not, I am awareness until I am not, I am shaped until I am not by all that surrounds where my feet touch the ground and, equally, I am not until I am. ©Paul Vincent Cannon
what is that we value
a look, a position, the message
whatever it may be
i do hope we take substance
in consideration
because without that, what matters?
because what we feel, think, hear
is not up for discussion
…the truth is most important
