In an endless universe, vast and profound,
Our mortal lives, but transient recollections bound.
We are but a speck in this cosmic dance,
In a cosmic waltz, in this universe we glance.
Yet, in our brief existence, we find beauty immense,
A momentary swift of the universe's suspense.
For in our tiny moments, we create our mark,
Leaving our imprint in this cosmic lark.
sometimes i feel like an ant facing the world
Dont call me trans masc
When ive always been a boy
Gay people didnt 'used to be straight', so why would i 'used to be a girl'?
Angels humming quietly
Soft melody of the divine
Song in children’s happy laughter
travel up through clouds and rain
to gates of cherry blossoms sky.
Melody of love and sadness
In the hearts of everyone.
Deeply hidden in baby’s innocence.
Going all life long
Till in old men broken smile.

Yesterday my aunt lost her only child.
Suddenly, unexpectedly.
So much sadness.
She is  inconsolable
Dark December for many.
RIP Marlon.

Cry not, you approved it.
If a foreign attack us?
You approved it.
No need to complain.

If a man attacks your daughter?
Out of rage or respect.
You approved it.
Cry not later about justice.

A felon, you elected.
Cry not when someone with less notoriety do it.
You signed off on him excelling through it.

Laws on the books for everyone.
So, when he flies to another countries.
Don't go trying to block regular folks from doing it.

Just remember, no need to complain.
We never were great, and he can't make it great again.
Not when crooks, bigots and fools, are your best friends.

Remembrance Day here in Canada.
This is my tribute to the living hope of continuing valiant attempts at arresting worldwide atrocities against humanity, which continue to this day.

Here's to life...

I love coffee
it is my favored beverage
it satisfies my soul
it gives me leverage.
To start the day with gusto
with pep and strong vitality
with strength and hardy vigor
to face the day's reality.
Just a bit of coffee
makes the morn much brighter
opening the eyes
my steps a little lighter.
So, here's to that loved bean
may it's power keep us going
to dance the dance of life
and keep the juices flowing!
F    Fear the water God says you must walk across
A   Allow your mustard seed to germinate
I     Implore the Lord to take your quaking hand
T   Trusting that your feet won’t sink into the brine
H   His hand is strong in yours, so step out now in faith.

hey

hi

can you hear me?

I think your video is off but yes

okay

task one

item three

did that just happen?

earnings call tonight

I voted during lunch, too

task five

item eleven

what happens now?

I’ll share my screen, can you read it okay?

glad we’re almost done with the project

what happens next?
how do I deliver value when this is reality
Which is the weakest thing of all
Mine heart can ponder?
The sun, a little cloud can pall
With darkness yonder?
The cloud, a little wind can move
Where’er it listeth?
The wind, a little leaf above,
Though sere, resisteth?

What time that yellow leaf was green,
My days were gladder;
But now, whatever Spring may mean,
I must grow sadder.
Ah me! a leaf with sighs can wring
My lips asunder—
Then is mine heart the weakest thing
Itself can ponder.

Yet, Heart, when sun and cloud are pined
And drop together,
And at a blast, which is not wind,
The forests wither,
Thou, from the darkening deathly curse
To glory breakest,—
The Strongest of the universe
Guarding the weakest!
