Dangle a smile

Dangle a smile
From the end of the arc
By just that weight
Bend the arc
Justice and Truth
We cannot reach
The object is the reaching

Bending the arc towards what?

Bending the arc towards what? Creativity, meeting. These are each pulling toward and away from the other. Making pulls away from the known, yet pulls toward others when it meets their needs or needs them to adopt the new. Meeting pulls us away from self and imagination to others, and yet when we bounce our essences and our ideas off one another, we create. Picture an asterisk made with arrows.

Finding in this instant we meet

Is our finding limited to one person only? Might we know a gathering or a group? One on many I have experienced when I am presenting they suddenly understand my twist to mind, or I or we uncover their deep concern. Many on many has happened when a deciding body clicks into a shared direction and the decision becomes clear. Can we know every aspect of this group, its mood on the next day—or moment—any more than we know any other person in our lives, or ourselves for that matter? No, but we can find how and who they and we are in this instant we meet.

Unfinished tasks remember us longer

Zeigarnik effect—unfinished tasks remember us longer than finished. Corollary—a good bequest for the generations is an unfinished task.

Footprints in the Windsm # 2011–In line for vaccine

Footprints in the Windsm # 2011

For ten months I’ve escaped my routine
And just now I’m in line for vaccine
I’ll stick out my arm
And get the new charm
So what have I learned in between?
