drip, drip, drip your life runs away from you

Are you willing to risk your life to be whom you are? Because surely you are spending your life every moment, drip, drip, drip, it runs away from you. Or you can choose to run away with it.

Is this just a call to the extraordinary people? What about the folks who feel fulfilled in cooking a good meal, tending to children, washing floors, mowing lawns, fixing roofs? They may be ahead of the rest of us, because they have found their lives in building the most everyday parts of cathedrals.

Racial baggage is too small a package

Diversity in these days carries a racial baggage which is too small a package for the word to carry.

Diversity a key factor in creativity

The more we have seen, the more we can see. Look at little children and all the wonder they see in the world, and in magic tricks: they have not seen that before, so it is all magic and they could not even imagine it. We are, in showing them things, opening their imaginations. Diversity is a key factor in creativity.

Take two boards/…

Take two boards
Nail together
An angle appears!
A third thing
Not contained
In either part

Now add 99 more
How many angles?
How many purposes served?
Can any predict?

Now add motion
Now add life

Impossible to foretell
What people will do
When they catch glimpse
Of the possibilities
Of their own—inner & outer—
Universes

The more juxtapositions
In the room
The more we create
In ways we cannot guess
More niches mean
We combine in new ways and
We creatively destroy and
We fit existing ideas
To new purposes

Life throws itself upon us
