So the purpose of this blog is to be a space to practice creativity. I am currently using it as a place to record a single, unedited poem for each day in 2019. While I attempt to write everyday, I may not actually post daily. Instead, I will post poems as they are completed, but one for everyday of the year. Not sure I can make it, but we'll see. It's fun to try regardless :)

Poem: December 13, 2019

Siloed

God says to you, Build an Ark,
so you build an Ark because
God is God, and you are you,
and maybe project management
is your strong suit, and maybe
you love the mission, and maybe
you trust your team, so all the
meetings in which you draw up
plans and perform risk analyses,
all the lists of materials, all the
estimates and systems, all the
time you take to clearly state
and align your actions to your
mission are both invigorating
and joyous, and you have the
pleasure of knowing that no
mistake you make is actually a
mistake, because it is yours and
is forgiven. And so you build
that Ark to spec, on budget and
on time, and God delivers all
the animals into your hands and
hospitality, and as predicted,
the rain comes down and the
water rises, and everything
beyond your work, your team,
your mission is lost, and so you
have proof of concept, a scalable
use case. How grand it is to be
successful and to be assured of
the terrible rightness of the ways
you've spent the only time you have.
