Cease and Be Still
We battle to own the apostates. We fight in our bunkers of shares.We taunt them with jesting emojis.We rage with our unflinching stares. We argue our case on the platforms.We scroll, we like, we subscribe.We give the guilty comeuppance.In political tribes, we abide.

The Mystery of Making Stuff Up
Most creatives can’t explain how they do what they do. Formulas escape them. The mysterious process occurs somewhere between the prefrontal and motor association cortex.

I Run to You
I run to You like streams that are drawn into the sea, like a fire to kindled tree, like a child to dreams. like time to eternity my one and only destiny You are full. Fill me. I don’t want to be more me. I want to be new. No me. All You. I want…
