in bloom
Forgiveness isn’t a passing thought
Bouncing off of a naught to an ought to a
Caught you
Trying to rig the gift
For yourself
Is like cheating
On yourself
Pretty damn hollow
Forgiveness as a conversation within oneself
With breaks for clarity
Sidebars for perspective
And room for bloom
It can turn our blood from cold to warm
Resurrect the sailor from a perfect storm
Starting off as a line
Evolving over time
Bringing sunlight to the shore
Calming the waves of nevermore
Crash!
Bloom...

end | respect
everything has a beginning and an end
it's just that some things are easier to recognize
life for one
you know
stick a fork in him, he's done
things get a bit more subtle on down from there
the end of the line for a cross-town train
the a to b of a line segment
the beginning of a curve
the spark of curiosity and passion
love often gets lost in the mix
ends and beginnings provide no fix
unless we can truly be honest with ourselves
we hold on to notions
ifs
and why nots
we rack our brains trying to understand why they drifted
or why we shut down
to inhale the fumes of our imagination
our exasperation
ends are beginnings in disguise
yet so much more wise
respect.

decompressing
i remember reading somewhere that peter morville, one of the true fathers of information architecture, headed off on a trip to decompress after closing down argus -- the IA company he founded with lou rosenfeld
i get that now. truly. and i wish i had taken better care of myself leading up to such an important time in my own professional life.
not only from the business side of things, but from the profession side, IA is a taxing gig, steeped in a ton of details and moving parts. and these days, the dynamic systems available to be designed only make it that much more of a demanding job.
i got lost in those very details and moving parts during my past 1.5 year long engagement. so lost that everything else in my life began to appear the same to me -- less organic, more intelligently designed; less in due time, more now, now, now.
so the challenge i have in front of me is how to create a daily foundation for myself that allows me to be innovative, pushing myself professionally, yet providing me with the peace i need to both thrive and simply "be" during off hours.
this, by far, is the greatest challenge of my life to date.
this is life.
