I seek the No Mind
Monumentally failing
Busyness robs me

Confounding Peace
Peace demanded now
Wont wait for reality
Confounding absence

Always Emotion, The Stock Markets
Was just reading a lending market update which included a note about the puzzling behavior of the stock market last week. Faced with a number of positive economic indicators, the market sold off pretty heavily. Well, with my time at Fortune 500s, I’ve seen this before. I learned a long-time ago that Wall Street, the stock-markets and prices of such things is driven, on a day-to-day basis primarily by emotion. This also feeds into the quarter by quarter mentality of most stock valuation. Time and time again, in most markets, it’s those with long-term views and understanding that do well. This is true in real estate as well. If you can shift your view out 5, 10, 20 years in the future, you can escape the variability of these emotionally based fluctuations.

Work-Life Balance
To find life’s balance
Continually adjust;
It’s always changing
Ascending
Drifting upon air
Sunlight dancing between trees
Summer’s gentle grace
Night’s call
Strangely the night comes
Springing upon my workload
Exhaustion bites hard
