anger flairs white hot
reason, hope, caring, stays bright
long term over short
The point is, anger burns red hot. But anger fades. Reason lasts longer. It’s why we need to trust it, rather than the ripping fury that has all of us contorting like zombies.

ID-10T errors,

ID-10T errors.
Do I want to make you google it?
Should I tell you?
Maybe if it was just spelled out.
Other fun errors encountered on a help desk:
PMAC – problem exists between monitor and chair
PICNIC – problem in chair, not in computer
IBM error – idiot behind machine error
I made this one up for driving on Atlanta freeways:
PEBSWADS – problem exists between steering wheel and drivers seat

I wake up underwater
break surface and breathe
Daily battle to wake up.
Struggle to the surface, forcing my way out of the depths of sleep.
Claw my way.
Kicking.
Break through the water and into a gray day and fight to stay a float.
Or.
Hands together above my head.
Fingers pointing straight.
Body twists as my legs flex and feet paddle.
Knifing through the water.
I porpoise out of the water.
Into the sunshine.
Water drops dazzle like diamonds.
Hand closes into a fist raised over my head.
“NOT TODAY!”, I shout.
To nobody but myself.

haunted by the end
not past, but what’s yet to come
let go the future
I have done so many dumb things in my life.
Can’t worry about them now.
I am going to do so many more dumb things in my life.
Can’t worry about them now.
When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. Psalm 56:3 (NIV)
