VJ’s Weekly Challenge: Read on…
I truly love the community here – so many different life experiences reaching across the internet to connect. I have cried, laughed, and generally felt the warmth of getting to know so many wonderful minds. I would love to meet you in person.
So, I have this fantasy, that we all meet – money and COVID not being an issue. I ponder the how and where, imagining animated conversations and unexpected bondings.

Virtually safe
joy overflowing across borders defined spaces stops to think I bared my soul someone responded with understanding I felt vindicated … What if the cloud I felt so safe enveloped in, and now meet in etched graphite on a different texture is not … what I saw and heard -is different from what I read … Continue reading Virtually safe

Communication myths
I’m sure the ground speaks to the sky. It has so many deep secrets to share. Messages pass through multiple engineered layers of concrete, light, sound and air in between. Needless to say, they all have a say, and they have a right to have a say. The sky bends down creating something called a … Continue reading Communication myths
The Feeling – a poem by Paul Vincent Cannon
“Winter is a season of recovery and preparation.” Paul Theroux
The Feeling I can see how that flowed into my life, the feeling that winter has possessed me with unexpected gratitude for respite, a stepping back from the brazen sun. The feeling that winter has possessed me, leading me along a mindful hibernation, a stepping back from the brazen sun with time to be quiet and ruminatious. Leading me along a mindful hibernation through completely different connections, with time to be quiet and ruminatious, a curious collect of creative experience. Through completely different connections with unexpected gratitude for respite, a curious collect of creative experience, I can see how that flowed into my life.

Does the world go round in circles
you know music says a lot
there’s no end and no plot
takes more than one hand to clap
just a thumb and a finger to snap
sheeple selfies decompose in brawls
didn’t get the memo on awes and flaws
to perceive deception seems too lame
there’s no resolve and too many to blame
insipidity and fake news one in the same
witless souls still pitied and tattered
empathy is all that mattered
yep, simpler days sadly old hat
by the way the earth isn’t flat
