SIDEWAYS EIGHT PROJECTS

Res ipsa loquitor… The thing speaks for itself. This poem is a created thing, and it speaks for itself.

It’s funny how in typing a Latin phrase (usually reserved for legal briefings regarding negligence and abuse) triggers autocorrect to assume ‘red iPad locator’ which circles back to the concept of color in relation to the quest for truth. It is said that Athena Nike, Goddess of wisdom and victory had grey eyes. I don’t believe that was by accident.

That’s a wrap on ‘SURPRISE!’ 🎬here in the Biggest Little City in the World. What originated as Sideways Eight Poetry (inferring my first love📓) has necessarily morphed and adapted into ‘Sideways Eight Projects’ so as to include 📷Photography, 🎥Film, 🎭Theatre, and 🎤Special Event Hosting. In short, my own preferred list of mediums of storytelling. Thank you again to Director @pettyprincejr and the Producers @renofilmcollective for allowing me the great opportunity to act in a completely original independent film. Thank you to @amandabrittney and Taylor for lending your talents to complete the cast. Cheers to the ‘martini shot’ 🍸or in this case, the ‘mimosa shot’ 🍹as it were. So, while the tech wizards and editing gurus work their magic, I will eagerly anticipate the finished product, and thank my lucky stars. ⭐⭐⭐

Snow is falling and the outdoors are calling. They call me to be at their side. Leaving in a hurry to be with the flurry, it’s as if I’m able to glide.

I know you are sleeping now, gathering rest for the spring to come. You’ll arrive in this veritable explosion of life, though we won’t know where you came from. Your resting spots are hidden by design from the humans as we seem to seek to destroy. So even if I never know where you’ve been, know I don’t understand our plot, but I completely understand your ploy.

It is easier to pull a rabbit out of a hat than to put a bad habit back into the vat.

I will use everything within and what I find in the world around me,

in order to express the innermost workings of my story.

And know when the surrounding world confounds me,

I rest in it doing so with the best of those who came before me.

Believe your own story is not yet over. Believe you have the power to change the narrative incrementally and drastically. Believe in the power of a good pizza to change lives including your own.

I see your likeness in my wandering, I can still feel your hand in mine. For me there is no fonder thing than taking in a slice of the divine. Yet the wandering continues searching for new slices, to be present and to be moved, as love in and of itself suffices without making a plea to be proved.
