Being Human

I’m a poet, photographer and eco-worrier, because I never had the courage to be a warrrior. But maybe it’s time?

Being Human not just Doing Human.

Being human, being curious.

The paradox of good poetry is that it can seem true yet simultaneously uncertain .

It’s like the difference between a photograph (however artfully rendered)and a painting.

That pause between a breath at the end of a line or there, at the edge of a brush stroke, each folron attempt at stilling time, reveals us being human.

What happens next? Where do I start?
