there is no
Do you communicate effectively & emphatically with others?
common ground
between the mountains
lies a stream
…
us vs them
but only in
our minds
and mouths
as we all live
on the same
rock in space
steep, sip, savor
What are you experimenting with?
tea leaves
ground into a
sea of green
…
the world we live in
can have an order
to doing things
if we want to follow
the prescribed process
or we can take time
to learn by experimenting
around the block
What have you been thinking about lately?
the morning sun
above the trees
shines on the kids
…
as we take our walk
we will wonder and ponder
what are the things that make
our house a home
our people a family
our time on this rock
a legacy to remember
there's always something
When do you fix or replace objects?
hot water steam
boiling over
the old cooktop
…
we need to look at
and pay extra attention to
as time goes on
since we will eventually
have to decide
whether if we want
to repair or replace
moving around
When was the last time you moved?
open the box
an old home meets
new stewards
…
makes us
come to terms
with the fact
that the concept
of home is less about
the location and more about
the emotions it harbors
stacking bricks
What work are you doing today?
red leaves
brushing through
the empty park
…
every day
we get to
build upon
or chisel away
at the work
that was done
yesterday
what's new
What have you been up to lately?
block by block
the merchants rest
on mondays
…
with us
depends
on who we
are leading
are learning
are mentoring
are growing with
tip the scales
Are you working with or against yourself?
finding
traces of salt
on the water
…
one hand
holds freedom
the other
holds captivity
and we control
which way
the scale goes
limited edition
What is rare to you?
grey cardboard treasures,
legends frozen in still frames,
memories rebound
…
while out of our control
things such as time
condition
variations
and errors exist
we hold onto what we
believe is valuable
the last marathon
When do you have second thoughts?
the turning leaves
waving goodbye
to summer
…
we choose to run
will no doubt have moments
of second thoughts
and exhaustion
creep into our mind and bodies
before, during,
and after the race
load the car
What does being prepared mean to you?
summer camping
a group of bears
fight for chocolate
…
what if
we had boxes
to categorize
where things go
instead of just winging it
and throw things
in the trunk?
make better
How do you make the world a better place?
moss covered
stone lantern sees
garden seekers
…
the movements
we start don’t have
to be large
as long as they
inspire us
to be the change
we want to see in this world
