Book the flight and go
Don’t need to ask permission
Know you should be there
Add it to my plate
It’ll get done when it has to
Or when the mood strikes
Is it possible
To love freedom not country?
They are diff'rent, right?
She turned six years old
The day should be about her
But still about me
They need to connect
They need to develop skills
I need them engaged
Faking conviction
Causes more problems than it solves
Must find the real stuff
Magic unicorns
Make my flowers grow. I know.
You can’t prove they don’t
Past behavior is
The best indicator of
Some future events
Why do people care
About things that don’t matter
To them or their lives?
Here’s what I want most
Stop asking me what to do
Start knowing what’s right
What’s the point of words
That don’t challenge assumptions
And demonstrate flaws?
People get upset
When they are not in control
They dread helplessness
Sicker by the day
Makes you wonder about what
Happens tomorrow
She’s causing trouble
It gives her perverse joy and
It’s what she does best
You can’t time travel
Not because of paradox
Because there’s no you
Doctors are people
They take the same shortcuts and
Limit their thinking
She’s smart and likes school
Good at reading, math and art
My job to nurture
It does not make sense
To add more to your plate when
You can not keep up
I traveled all night
To get back to my own world
Should have never left
They ask what I do
For fun or for a hobby
I read and I write
Hour to Twin Cities
And four hours to L.A. Then
Five hours to Kona
Sometimes it’s scary
To try something new. Sometimes
It’s just what you need
Keep moving forward
Don’t ever stop or turn back
Regret slows you down
Now I am writing
Few lines in stolen moments
On the smallest screen
Personal journeys
Through the landscape of the mind
Will speak through the ages
Morning rituals
Help you face each new day but
Limit your thinking
Things that stress me out
Always go better than feared
Leave me feeling strong
Shhh! Here’s a secret
You expect more of yourself
Than they ever will
