and more about
the journey it took
for us to get there

Will your future be decided by your past or present?
pink tulips
opening for
mother’s tears
…
we would think
or be led to believe
that if something happens
then what happens next
is a result of the past
however there is always
a chance things will be different
mission control
What mission are you monitoring?
grass and dirt fly
the baseball lands
in the outfield
…
the mission
seems simple
when read aloud
and yet
the amount of things
that could go wrong
need to be monitored
the question is
What questions are you asking?
conference room
the crowd laughs as
monkeys talk
…
always going
to set the stage
for an answer
that will be heard
and listened too
over and over again
until the next one
what's for breakfast
What’s on your meal plan?
morning tea
a green canvas
left on the rim
…
for lunch
for dinner
knowing
what we put
into ourselves
is the first step
to seeing outcomes
same seasons
Do you feel the same or different this time last year?
spring fog
floating above moss
covered logs
…
different reasons
why we feel
the way we feel
for all becomes
clear in time
if we let ourselves
be present
story time
What story are you telling?
the wind calms
in the desert
another night
…
what we all
have come
to discover
is a story
is one of if not the
most important factors
for building our brand
the answer is
Do you know the answer?
deck of cards
a joker falls
out of hand
…
yes for some
no for others
or even maybe so
for those needing
some time
to think things over
before giving a reply
hues leave clues
What do colors tell you?
Seeing red
the rose bush knows
the deer are hungry
…
of what could have
or would have
or even should have
happened when we
stop to take
a look around
to watch flowers bloom
bored-from
Are you tired of today’s media and content?
watching raccoons
dig up grubs in the yard
original film
…
the endless
scrolling and sea
of endless media
so much so
some of us seek
to go back
to slower days
taste test
How sure are you in your work?
pinch of salt
goes into the pot
boiling and boiling
…
are we checking
what we send out
to be served
to the public
or just throwing
anything that we
think will taste good?
grandma's kitchen
What memories do you have of your grandparents?
miso black cod
obaachan celebrates
the catch of the day
…
the funny thing
about memories
is that we just need
to think about them
for us to be able
to relive and remember
our past life

What art inspires you?
tidal waves
washing over
apartment walls
…
sometimes
all we need
is a source
of inspiration
to create our next
latest and greatest
masterpiece
the long run
Are you in it?
green spirals
the lawn mower
sputters again
…
the medium run
the short run
across it all
can we stay
committed
and confident
to the path we chose?
look beyond
What does your story tell you?
picking weeds
another patch grows
near the sprinklers
…
the rocky start
the bumpy middle
the rough end
the story and
journey along
the way means
something to us
