An Actual Skype Chat with a Friend in Palestine:
[3:40:06 PM ] Moye: what are u doing now?
Me:
working on a blog post
being cold
feeling sick to my stomach
wishing my office was clean
wondering why all I see is you and a white wall
as if there is nothing there in the office with you
is your life truly made up of the starkness of desk and screen
no color to brighten your days
no photos or paintings or music to touch your heart?
all work and no play makes for a dull life
yours needs to be rich in beauty and wonder
and inspiration
because in the end you can't take your work
or your money
or your time with you
when you die
only your soul
make sure your soul is fed
your heart is happy
and you die with a smile on your face
knowing that you have truly lived
damn
that would make a great poem
[3:45:39 PM] Moye: nice
[3:45:44 PM] Moye: so sweet
And so I took the actual flow of my words and deposited them here as they fell. Yeah, sometimes it works that way. Deadlines kill creativity........ Side note: Moye is the creator of my company logo.
