A Rant about Romania
I wrote the following in response to an email I received regarding the mining situation in Romania (the national mining companies have gone bankrupt on account of supposedly “fully exploited resources” and a bogus figure that the national wealth has a cap as to how much can be gold… meanwhile now there are 8 foreign companies looking to extract over 200 billion $ of gold, more...

10 Things I Learned from Steve Jobs and his Legacy
1. Focus. Whether that be in your own life or the things you create, put the few best things in and say no to the many others that are even the slightest bit less than that.
2. Use that focus to also keep it simple. Nothing, whether that be your own decisions or the things you design, benefit from excesses. Simplicity is clean and allows you to breathe and see clearly. As Antoine de Saint-Exupery...

Last night, despite having early classes, I stayed up thinking, writing, reflecting until I only had a few hours to sleep. Sometimes, regardless of real world pressures and responsibilities, I am carried away by a moment, and feel compelled to make time that I do not technically have for comparatively “less important” matters. It is those “unimportant” moments where I can...

My body is a cave
Of bottomless depths
Where I tread water in the dark
Swallowing emotion
And searching for a light.
My body is a cave
Where a great monster hides
Eating soulful passions whole
And spitting up bones
Which get stuck in my throat.
My body is a cave
That weaves down endless
On a slippery slope
Of sweat and tears
With walls painted red.
My body is a cave
Where the same beat echoes
Off...

Hold some time in your hands…
Let the warm moments grace your skin
like the sun coming home from a far away place.
Hold some time in your hands
like meditation beads, carefully clutched
guiding thoughts and pacing passion…
Hold some time
to feel it pass.
hold some time
like a baby.
hold some time
like water,
hold some time
and then
…
..
.
let it go.

You’ve got the love
you know it’s real
you know how to feel
c’mon now, c’mon
it’s real.
Jump hearts,
balloons away,
c’mon yes
it’s a new day -
lord I just don’t care
so c’mon get the love
and see me through
for real.
