Decoding

A career path that started with ethical hacking has taken a different turn. There’s money, there’s fame (some call it notoriety), and there’s the excitement of doing something which makes people drop their jaws. “Is there a way to turn back?” implores Mom, “It is the path to disaster.” She travels on high roads and … Continue reading Decoding

Scumbags

Scumbags …. by Jim Adams

newepicauthor's avatarA Unique Title For Me

I never wanted to be a politician, as I think that all these people do is take from society and they never give anything back. Politicians are supposed to have a caring attitude that allows them to commit their best efforts toward the public welfare, but it seems that most of them are only interested in gaining money, status or power.  The 32nd president of the United States Franklin D. Roosevelt referring to the owners of power utilities whose actions he deemed to be against the interests of the American people said, “My friends, judge me by the enemies I have made.”  In politics, enemies are made, but there are no permanent enemies, and no permanent friends, there are only permanent interests.  Politicians think that they are right, because they won an election and they develop their own preferences instead of trying to compromise and allow people to cooperate with…

Angry young man

Angry young man …. by hecblogger

hecblogger's avatarPlaying with words

he was the angry young man
he taught me to hate the wrong
against the evil wind he ran
he was the angry young man
if he could fight, well so I can
from my ashes, I emerge strong
he was the angry young man
he taught me to hate the wrong

Visualisation Sensation

Sam Allen Creative Coach's avatarPeacock Poetry

Yesterday I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon doing peer coaching with my friend and fellow inner leadership tribe mate, Joanna. Whilst I was being coached, Joanna led me through a visualisation which was so powerful for me that I felt compelled to capture it in words. Giving ourselves the gift of travelling to places within our imagination can open countless possibilities. Thank you Joanna!

Deep Sea Delight

Far out in the ocean’s soul

The miraculous moon slithers across velvet waves

There is a braveness in drifting out

Settling into the sound of the sea’s solitude

The voice of the wary waif slowly subdued by the invitation to integrate

Here she may gaze at The Amazing Oneness

Heightened.

Honoured.

Her feet floating like fairies in enchanted elixir

Beauty abounding in sparkling serenade

Unbelievable gratitude!

She expands into the twinkling tricks of the galaxy

Entranced by the calming chant…

Amy is at the very center of our existence, and gives us a purpose to live. She is in the ICU today, … Continue reading Scared
