mine and yours
What are you sharing with others?
rocking chair
a blanket covers
wooden arms
…
ownership
our culture is fraught
with who has this
and who does that
but what happens when
we share the responsibility
to make each other better?
airplane mode
When do you disconnect?
yellow savanna
the leopard gecko
loses it’s tail
…
how many times
do we naturally
make ourselves
unplug and take
a step back
without being
forced to disconnect
over-under
Are you risk-prone or risk-adverse?
white-tailed deer
a pack of wolves
climbs the mountain
…
when we wager
something of value
like time or money
the level of risks rises
and so should our
ability to manage and measure
results and expectations
paper or plastic
What do you put inside your bags?
guava orchard
monkeys rip apart
branches and leaves
…
isn’t the question
in order to make
sustainable choices
we must examine
what we put inside
our shopping bags
instead of what they’re made of
good ideas
What makes a good idea?
picket fence
chicken wire wraps
around the stump
…
are rarely the same
they innovate
offer improvement
and a different perspective
when it comes to solving
unique problems
we encounter daily
autumn leaves
What will you choose to do today?
japanese maple
the gentle breeze
lifts up embers
…
that are seen turning green
to yellow, orange, and red
shows us how fickle
life can be if we mistake
having options to hold value
over our power
to choose our fates
in the future
What are your life-long goals?
tall grasslands
a cattle dog leaps
over the stump
…
will we make
it a priority to be
happy and healthy
or find ourselves
constantly thinking
instead of acting
to reach our goals?
