Cross the Rubicon

[juansendizon]

“To be empathetic means to be so tender with your imperfections that you don’t get angry when other people’s limitations begin to set you off. Instead, you ask them how their heart is doing. If there’s anything they can share that will ease the pain in the present moment. Something the both of you can gently work on to co-exist in peace with simply being human.”

— Juansen Dizon, Caring

Poetry (or lack thereof)

Go on and spill out the contents of your heart

It hurts, they say, but only for a moment

Bringing your soul to bear

Parting like the Red Sea

You wade through the depths

Trying to find all that's kept

You locked within

Letting go is the only key

To setting yourself free

Deep thoughts on unemployable skills

Yo,

So this is the thing I put here as a blog post opening for a blog about writing. Not sure if it’s going to only be about writing, but that’s definitely an essential focus. A hodgepodge of thoughts regarding being really into something that’s an unessential noncommidity.

Let’s face it, if you’re not into advertising, writing doesn’t pay for much else these days, much less breakfast cereal. And yet it’s a necessary skill, one that many people explore one that allows us to communicate more effectively with each other. Like any art, it’s got its starving creators, and spotlight allocators.

I guess the bottom line in all this is: If you’ve got something to say, then say it. Do what you love and forget the money.
