Calm Day
A man
born
in
turbulent
seas,
eyes
a
calm
day
with
suspicion.

Friday note:
In the United States, the last 20 years saw 9/11, a global financial meltdown, and a pandemic.
Foundational crisis such as climate, housing, healthcare, education (cost), wealth disparity/divide, looming inflation.
Being born right in the middle of all of this; two generations have been deeply impacted by these stormy waters (the Millennials and Gen Z’s).
Even Gen X wasn’t immune, growing up with oil rationing, the president encouraging ‘sweaters’ in the winter to cut down on growing heating cost, double digit interest rates on mortgages, Junk bonds and fluctuating inflation/deflation.
Uncertainty
is almost guaranteed
to be certain.
I am certain
you all
will have a great weekend!

I share small stories/poems/thought-bytes, with artists.
Armed with no background other than the story/poem,
their muse brings the words to life.
Ultimately something new is born.
I have found this co-creation delightful.
This is the fourth that I have shared publicly
Yvette Gilbert again! Her work always has multiple layers of meaning, and a bit of other worldliness.
