Preoccupied

Preoccupied
let us monitor our thoughts
for its often or not
we will find ourselves
preoccupied
is it what we woke up with?
is it what we’ve left undone?
is it the chaos around us?
is it simply the sum?
precious is the child’s way
ne’er a worry, just play
yes to the focus
of having fun each day

The Mastery of Inclusion

The Mastery of Inclusion
it can be hard to include
those whose perspective is not
compatible with ours
from their place on the clock
but remember we too
have stood where they stand
and have also seen the same view
as their lay of the land
the gift of exchange
of both feelings and knowledge
helps us to understand
we’ve attended the same college
the college of life
experiential degrees
maybe different years
even lifetimes away
but that same curriculum
always seems to come into play
with the same lessons
to be learnt along the way
tuition is paid forward
attendance required
to earn an MI
to remain inspired
by a
Masters of Inclusion
a degree in Humanities
