This Stargazing Youth

As I look upwards
Orion’s belt reminds me
This stargazing youth

So many memories, laying in the grass, eyes skyward, my dreams moving at lightspeed. 

Hints of Spring

The tree begins anew
Light flows, that old dance
Colors, bees, birds…you know
Life will carry on long beyond me

I Love Elegance

Seeking elegance
Fine stationary and pens
Classical styling

Walking Alongside The River

After days of rain
The river’s running quite high
An eagle watching

The Respect of ‘why’, or Obedient Serfs Don’t Innovate

A mediation on today’s post by Seth Godin: “The respect of ‘why'”.

Questionsall was my first Twitter handle, and is the title of my poetry blog, and my very first site here on Blogger.  I deeply value questioning, on probing. I don’t accept things at face value.

I believe the path to a great life comes through questions.

  1. What do I want to do with my life?
  2. What feeds my soul?
  3. What makes my heart soar?
  4. What steals my energy? My passion? My joy?

Wise leaders accept the value of questioning. Everyone on the team needs to value the mission, share the dream and the goals. Then, and only then, will you have a team of innovators.

Obedient serfs don’t innovate!

This kind of work is hard. Rewarding, but hard. Hard to look at decisions and paths thinking “is it time to let this go”? But that’s the only way to keep moving forward. 

Morning Meditations

Another morning 

Dreaming crafting the greatest future

Poetry as Witness

My heart now broken
Grace within the brutalized
Within all this? Hope!

I finally listened to this story this evening. This gem comes from the CBC. 

The Indian schools were a period of unmitigated evil. It breaks my heart to see the savagey with which we were delighted to
