I wrote this piece not only honour my classmates but, also all of the essential services workers who continue to bleed as they care for others. Also, to those Musicians & Artists who have nourished our souls with access to their body of work during EXTREMELY trying times. If it weren\’t for all of these beautiful humans COVID would have been more tortuous, I know that sounds like a oxymoron however our weary souls would have been worse for the wear; if we simply sat in the void of our boxes and did not bother with humanity. I am overflowing with gratitude.
Wishing you all peace and love during a holiday season, that hopefully brings with it the end of our globes current pain.
Kindly note, the beautiful Art by Teja Krašek.

Do you ever wonder
what would constitute
life in the absence
of any ism which insults
or seeks to intimidate
it would appear in the visage
of each human being
there would be ultimate peace
as everyone would want to simply
do what is best for a planet
that aches with each cycle
Luna maintains the silence
with stars in position to light
the pitch with the illumination
of the presence of reversed
shadows — where only vibrant
Soleil is able to maintain
figures which cascade
in the dark — an

is where I reside, the vacancy
of spirit requires a humble
replenished cup
in the form of self care and compassion
as the phrase \”it\’s better to burn out
than to fade away” coined by Young
and borrowed by Cobain
my brain automatically defaults
to seek a balance between
the two — being able to serve
is not for the lighthearted
it requires spunk, grit, raw talent
which can be harvested to stitch
all the components of reality
together — with the presence
of ornate squares forged
to both unify and establish
humanity\’s quilt
