curled in a ball, floating in spaceless
space out of time in an endless wave
you turned to me with your faceless face I’m
sinking inside in the warm embraces
plans
and a face
in the foam
i can recognize you
here
I’m a stone
in an endless dream
curled in a ball, near the humming heart
beat the walls, and a constant friend
will i turn in the warm enveloping
sound i can hear a distant singing
plans
and a face
in the foam
i can recognize you
here
I’m a stone
in an endless dream
space is enclosed and goes out to the dark
horizon i am pulled by my constant
friend and a breath i can hear through the wall
a mirage of a voice that is whispering “down”

All the best, happiest, and most creatively productive times in my life have something in common: being disconnected.
No internet. No TV. No phone. No people. Long uninterrupted solitude.
It’s not that I hate people. The other best times in my life were with people. But it’s interesting how many highlights were just sitting in a room in that wonderful creative flow, free from the chatter of the world. No updates. No news. No pings. No chats. No surfing.
Silence is a great canvas for your thoughts.
That vacuum helps turn all of your inputs into output. That lack of interruption helps you flow. Every business wants to get you addicted to their infinite updates, pings, chats, messages, and news. But if what you want out of life is to create, then those are your obstacles.
People often ask me what they can do to be more successful. I say disconnect.
Even if just for a few hours. Unplug. Turn off your phone and Wi-Fi. Focus. Write. Practice. Create. That’s what’s rare and valuable these days.

The Wind and the Tree

Within the forest there was a Tree
The young pine grew tall and proud, but lopsided
It’s roots grasping through the moss and rocks near the shore of a small lake
The Tree had everything it needed and was happy
Some days, the Wind wound itself through the forest and whispered to the Tree
It shared secrets from exotic and far away places
Other times, it told stories about funny little people
Who who lived in metal forests
The Tree loved listening, vicariously relishing the new experiences
and the Wind loved sharing them, but always had somewhere else to be
Winding its way through the Tree's many green needles with a muted hush
Despite knowing it could never visit these far off places, the Tree was happy
One day, a bear scratched its back against the Tree
The tangled roots and rocks and moss shifted
And the weight of the bear broke something loose
With a mighty crash, the Tree toppled onto the forest floor
No longer reaching tall and proud, the Tree lay flat
It could only hear faint whispers from the Wind as it passed by above
Only the soft hush of it’s secrets moving through the forest's many other green needles
The Tree was lonely, but still, over time, the Tree was happy
Because, on the forest floor, Moss and Mushrooms prickled the Tree's bark
They were quiet and slow, but had stories of their own
They spoke of growth, progress, legacy and life far beyond
Of crunchy leaves and the small animals who ran up and down the Tree’s trunk
As the Tree settled into the forest floor, it learned something new
The Tree found that, in falling, it brought great joy to many new friends
It could no longer hear the wind hush secrets far above, and that was OK
It had new stories to listen to, and the tree was happy
Over time, the Tree became more moss than bark
It's prickly needles replaced with soft green fur
Instead of growing up toward the sky
It was spreading out across the forest floor
Working with Moss and Mushroom
the Tree learned to puff spores into the air
Floating weightlessly far up and above the forest
The Tree finally saw how large and vast the world was
Then came a gentle breeze
The Wind had returned
It swept up and embraced the Tree with a big swirl of a hug
And a new adventure began in an unfamiliar world
The Tree found the Wind carrying hundreds of others
Thousands of stories and experiences soaring in the air
And as they wound through grass and clouds and funny little people
They whispered their stories to those that choose to listen
And the Tree was happy
