The Potential of Weeds

Perhaps the weeds
Are in their season
And with loving care
Will sprout flowers
Too beautiful to believe
As they’re rooted in
The soil of your
Soul

Gulfs and Such

Upon the edge I sit,
Staring across
A gulf of white,
Brutal, bitter, cold
Sings it’s song
Of death and delight.
And I know, within
My being’s depths
That the path across
Is life, vigorous and true,
Fully, finally alive.

Rain

Upon my hands flow,
Dust of dreams and winter’s touch,
Autumn’s rain cleanses.  
 

Strength without Love

Strength without love
The deepest failure, sadness
Abounds; emptiness

Thoughts on Relationships

One key goal for us,
Remove the drainers of joy,
And replace with love.

Zero Inbox or Damnation

The mania of my life lately has provided a convenient excuse for putting off zeroing my inbox. After spending a bit of my weekend scrambling because I missed crucial emails, I’m raising it’s priority again. “Later’s” glorious promise, and inevitable bite.

In Stephen Covey parlance, I’ve spent too much time in Quadrant 1, urgent/important and Quadrant 3, urgent/unimportant. Neglecting the important/non-urgent work of Quadrant 2 has always provided pain points for me.

KNOWING what’s outstanding, what my commitments are: critical knowledge that I musn’t allow to slip. And, hence, I”m all back in with my favorite project management tool: IQTell. Additionally, making sure my work, my actions track with my goals, priorities and values is the ultimate in live-giving. Focus, focus, focus!
