Premium Member A Child Says Mama
A child says “mama”
in a crowded store
Six young women turn their heads 
As do two older women 
Who have not heard “mama” in a long time
“Mama” is an instinct, a calling, an avocation, a mission....

Alliterative Assertion
Although amateurs are annoyingly apt at aping another’s avocation, All artists accord another’s art acceptance, As any artwork asks appreciation, And after all, all artists are allusive, anyhow.

Premium Member Things Look Better
It was a year ago today
  we plain folk lost our say
our lives restricted 
  in so many ways

Couldn't go to work or see a show
  almost nowhere we could go
Shopping at super-stores our recreation 
  Toilet paper hoarding, our avocation

One year later
  things look better
COVID's memorial
  ~ five scarlet letters...

Beyond Time Allowed
My job is to make the unlikely happen
  my passion driven to embrace the bliss

My vocation seeks to find the answers
  my avocation wanders—soul remiss 

My intellect bargains away the hours
  my spirit embraces each moment now

My story when told is about the journey
   that road I traveled—beyond time allowed

The Negation of Affirmation
Life is monotonous if it's got no goal or purpose
Life is monotonous if it's meaningless
If u don't know why you're here
Or where you are going
Lest we develop faults in a given avocation 
A negation of affirmation 
The decay of stagnant self content
Then life is full of frustration
Full of unhappiness 
Because those who have no ultimate destiny 
For life, beget life
Such people say life has frustrated them
No, they have frustrated life......

Can You
Can you separate your art
  from your politics

Can you separate the temporal
  from the divine

Can you separate the excuses
  from the reasons

Can you separate purpose
  from those wasted times

Can you separate your vocation
  and avocation

Can you separate curiosity
  from true insight

Can you separate your duty  
  from convenience

Can you separate the darkness
 —from the light

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2016)...

Premium Member Thankful Once Again For My Ability To Dance
May we be blessed to acknowledge all the wonders in our life
that have, for us, thus far accrued…
and to begin each day with a word of thanks…
and thoughts of gratitude.

Today I’m once again thankful for having the ability to dance
And for the words of Amit Kalantri…that I happened on by chance

Amit has a wonderful theory he is happy to advance…
The role of our feet is to keep us walking….he says
But their hobby, 
their avocation…
their fancy
is to dance....
