Ken Robinson

No “reputable” school

University

College

Or

Classroom

In any academic institution

Is greater than the impact that one

Great

Teacher

Can have

Great

Teachers

Are the educational

Life blood

Of “schools”

Not the other way around….

~ Ken Robinson ~

For Liam

I love the courage that you exhibit

The heart that beats 

Upon your sleeve

That everyone can see

As you pour yourself

Effortlessly

Into the life before you

~ For Liam ~

For Derek Sivers

I have vowed to keep my life simple

In order to create space

For matters of pure importance

Like laughing with you

Playing with you

And enjoying

Every moment I have with you

~ For Derek Sivers ~

On Realisation

And then…

All of a sudden…

Just like that…

The time wasting stopped

Because

She realised

It was running out

~ On Realisation ~

Scientist In The Crib

A baby learns

Exponentially faster

Than the adult 

20 to 40 x

In fact

So take baby steps 

Relearn

What learning looks and feels like again

Real fast

~ Scientist In The Crib ~

Intelligence

True Intelligence is

The ability

To pull from both ends

Embracing contradiction

Seeing the spectrum

From a wide lens

Zooming out

Then

Zooming in

Finding balance somewhere

In between

~ Intelligence ~

Picking Up The Pieces

We are all born perfectly pieced together

Then along the way 

Torn

a - part

Some of us

Fortunate

To pull ourselves back

Together again 

Not exactly as we began

Somewhat resembling

Children again

~ Picking Up The Pieces ~

 

Yoda

We have come so far

From where we

Are supposed to be

But the beauty...

We can get back there

To where

We were born to be 

But...

We must re-learn everything

Everything

That we once thought to be

 ~ Yoda ~ 

The River Runs

The river runs 

Not knowing when to stop 

Rolling over obstacle

After obstacle

Without knowing

Just flowing

Going on and on

Reaching the sea 

After traveling 

A life time

Mile after mile

Strong 

Uncompromising

Effortlessly

~ The River Runs ~


Relevance

Every single man and woman in this world

Is searching for relevance

Many to their detriment

It is what it is

The people cannot help

Themselves

Their addiction to attention 

A habit

They are unable of ridding

But if they could

They would never 

Seek it again

~ Relevance ~

Placebo

One man receives a

Blue pill

Another

Red

One is said to have “moved mountains”

And the other

Lived his whole life dead

~ Placebo ~

This Creative Life

And then

The time wasting stopped

I cannot explain why or how

It just did

I knew because I was no longer dead

But alive

Living all the time

~ This Creative Life ~
