Notes About The Poem

Intro Spect

("Splendid Isolation Merit Badge", 2010, original oil)

I was looking
In all the wrong places
Thinking I needed
To do something
With my life
While all along
It was my Life
Needing to do something
With me.

Life is working with a very imperfect set of givens in each of us. I feel great compassion for It!
