IP

28 Aug

Apologies in the delay of posting anything – working on the business side of protecting a person’s IP (intellectual property), ideas and dreams – I wish it didn’t take that much work. If only I can finish my new AI that will fix that.

Vibes

While there are vibes in the universe, yet untold, you can be the one to know how they unfold.

An Honest Moment

8 Aug

It’s interesting to see how people react to a dog on a long leash. Well trained and just to welcome you home or say hello. She wonders is this someone we know?

She can smell any hesitancy, then nods to the bees, bugs, ducks and lizards that we name.

We can teach all the rules, but can’t avoid understanding what the world awaits to explore.

A pause, a time to reflect, an honest moment when you can break all the rules of grammar and spelling – know them well, so you can break them as well.

Waking up in the Morning

7 Aug

There is a gentle nose every morning that says day is breaking soon, as we rise early.

She can wait, but it’s time to get out of bed and start writing and creating.

Come on, we can start when all others are sleeping.

Time to go and move, make it better for those who just want to learn to keep their head down when kicking for the goal post.

To aim for the back of the rim, not the front. To keep your eye on the ball and pick your favorite spots. If it hits you or they walk you, then wear it, as you’re the next run on the books.

Just soft hands to chip to the hole – like tossing an egg to the pin.

Find the Best in People

7 Aug

You can see things others cannot.

Reach deep, and say hello, or hi, or hey, just nice to meet you.

No judgement on what you’re wearing or how you look, just see it in their eyes when they smile that you recognize them.

Treat everyone you see with respect, know their name, and if lucky learn their story.

You can rewrite history with a little effort – one bit at a time.

Keep Your Head Up

6 Aug

Learned a valuable lesson in school and not from a teacher – you can be the small kid with grit, you can be short and still dominate to start the team to high levels, you can out hustle, out work and out play.

Make the shot no one expected – level up against someone twice your size and give it back, as it’s your layup, your short range shot from the patio that no one else has practiced, your five pointer who you know no else can do.

You can build walls and houses, but you can’t build that.

Bingo, thanks for making me walk the halls with my head held high… don’t look down, look up and straight and ready.

Leaves Turning in Rain

5 Aug

You can delete all apps, go silent while researching and building, remove devices, and yet the cloud remembers your name.

It’s not escaping or letting you forget your 2-factor authentication – there are no pads of paper with a bunch of names and numbers. Some can barely remember their own, as you just go to contacts, or say call this person.

There are no scribbles of ideas, where ink is put to paper where the writing hands of Escher created, and the hands of time ticked with the history of the past overlooking its work.

The one constant I see are leaves turning in rain. Just a natural, basic phenomenon to soak up the nutrients it needs to help the tree. It’s fellow leaves as they work in perfect unison.

Some limbs break, some strong limbs bend and others just gather water for the tree.
