SIDEWAYS EIGHT PROJECTS

I finally took the time to come down to where the magic happens. I feel honored to know so many motivated and creative people who are shaping the #Reno area with each passing day.
.

Thank you to all of the folks at @laikapress , @kwnk97.7 , & @oldtimeelectronics on south Wells for allowing @spoken_views_reno & @spoken_views_youth to have our monthly board meeting in your uniquely wonderful space!

.
Even though I had to leave early for rehearsal, it was much needed to check in with my #fam and discuss the #specialevents coming up in the #poetry world here in the #biggestlittlecityintheworld .

.
Much love to everyone involved as we’re approaching #nationalpoetrymonth in just a couple of weeks!

The lines we write to read
are the vines we fight to bleed
the rich intensity of the night sky
blended with finding meaning
before we die.

These attributes which others assume we have, may not be invitations we wish to accept.

We can reclaim the space in our urban centers, and reclaim space in our hearts, thus removing ground from love’s biggest dissenters, and placing it back in our innermost parts. These green spaces designed to cover the ties which once bound the country together, may bind it together even closer still. For they grow life from the urban lies, as conversations can flow forever, and allow passers to richly feel.

Are you more of a sun or a moon? Do you generate light and warmth from within and radiate outwardly from your innermost? Or, do you reflect the light you are given so that others may acknowledge the source? The darkside of the moon is one of the coldest and most inhospitable places which has ever been accessible to humankind, and yet we are incapable as mere mortals of walking on the surface of the sun. Somewhere in between, life thrives. If we were any closer or further away that would not be possible. How magnificent is the universe in all of its orchestration?

Our impact upon the earth can also determine our way of being shaped, and when the two are blended seamlessly, it may leave our jaws agape. For when form meets function, and function blends in with the earth, then form meets at the harmonious junction of picturesque beauty and the designer’s intended worth.

Roughly 93% of communication is non-verbal. If we are not actively listening to each other, in the words that we are saying AND the way in which they’re being said, then we are neither hearing nor understanding. This is how wars start. This is how lives are lost. This is how certain individuals go through their entire lives without understanding or ever really being understood. This is how relationships break down and wounds arise. This is perhaps the greatest single threat to mental health awareness. This divide being bridged is how we might come to save ourselves from ourselves.

In waiting for the signals to change, in order to fit the timeline and agenda we have, let us not miss the timeline of the universe and the agenda of the force that breathed life into us in the first place. Let us not miss the signals that are daily before us which scream we were meant to dream and be so much more than we are.

We look outside for the findings, and yet we carry them as we walk, in need of the constant remindings, and in desperate need of the personal talk.

Your exquisite beauty makes incendiary remarks to my soul,
presents me with an immeasurable force of creativity,
and brightens my darkest night.
