"Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt,

 and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen."

Rhythm and Rhyme

 For those of you curious about poetry - we have 2 books of poetry out... Rhythm and Rhyme ... and Towards Understanding.

Towards Understanding

 

 

I'd like to share one of my original poems here with you today:

Opportunities To Create Positive Change

Our global society must decide today

Whether we will live in a sustainable way.

Will we be a locust species?

Leaving health in little pieces?

Or will we spread wings to be

Stewards, like the bumblebee?

We are a species, who in essence,

Have survived by physical senses.

Yet we can change our self,

And change the world.

Struggling for isolation;

Living by definition.

Yet there's unity in our diversity...

You are I - and we are they.

With combined wisdom, compassion,

And shuddering footsteps,

Individual actions role model,

And direct the future.

Can we see the possibility?

The moment-to-moment opportunity,

For conscious, responsible action

Toward positive change.
