Patience in Anger

Patience in anger,
This discipline of the mind
Saves one regret’s pain

Thoughts on Time

The briefness of life
Should give us pause about time
As it fades away

Today’s random thoughts

Lately I’ve been realizing something about myself: I don’t have these grand aspirations towards power in regards to my career. Confrontation is gloriously unpleasant. I love working in an admin role. That’s what I’ve defaulted each time I’ve been laid off. I can’t imagine doing anything else. I have tried a few things, but they generally come to naught as I don’t have the massive drive such needs.

It’s delightful finally say “I’m cool with being an admin”. I’m good at this. I add value to the teams I work with. I’m great at the administrative work needed on any project.

I have no grand drive for acclamation and power. I’m quite comfortable being in the background. I like for my team to respect me and value my work.

A Sunday in April

Walking through sunlight
Warmth flowing across my skin
Happy spring is here

Facing my storm

A storm faces me
Destruction; my own making
Irrational fears
