Innovating Words

Instead of using and innovating words to cloud the truth, let’s use and innovate words to convey the truth more clearly and vividly.

       This is one way that poetry finds its place in the world.

Sometimes I feel like a plant

Sometimes I feel like a plant. Or one branch of a plant, in a group. I can grow flowers and leaves, but if everybody else’s branches seem to be growing only flowers then I won't let my flowers grow. I'll only grow leaves, as if there isn't room for me, for the sake of the overall group.
        But then, I have no flowers.
        I really like my leaves too, but am not really happy growing them only. I want to grow both.

Tow-truck-towing tow truck

Made up a tongue twister:

"Tow truck towing tow truck, Tow truck towing tow truck..."

Happy Earth Day 2019 (lunar-winds)

We live on a beautiful planet with liquid water and breathable air. That's amazing.

As a child I didn't like very sunny days. Rainy and partly cloudy were always my favourite. Funny how things change.

Detached and drifting

March 26, 2019

Sometimes it feels like I could just float away.

That distant.

Not truly anchored by gravity, as if suddenly I’ll begin to drift away seated in the bus as I am,

Into the part of the sky where the sunset meets the night.
(Where there’s that unknown colour.)

And not that my loved ones wouldn’t ever care or search,
But there is nothing that could be done.

There’s just too much distance

And I can’t go to my people,

And they’ll never find me.

Only God will know where I am.

Like an otter that forgot to entangle itself in seaweed,

Adrift and alone.

Floating anywhere,

That it wouldn’t even stop at our atmosphere,

And I’d be lost to space and not bother fighting it because I know it’s pointless.

You can’t swim in space.

So detached that I’ll just be taken away against my will to float above our sky to outer space,

Pointless,

Unable to direct myself anywhere, never coming back home.

And that I’ll just be lost to nowhere forever.

Not like a feather,

Lighter;

Nor like a balloon, 

Less joyful,

Though just as empty.

What life have a chosen where I actually need to use quadratics

A few things to remember during a disagreement

Sometimes when people are being illogical, it's because they are feeling very intense emotions.

However. Just because someone feels very intensely about something or it makes them emotional, that does not automatically mean their basis is illogical.

And finally, just because someone does not cry or raise their voice, that doesn't mean they're not feeling it.
