Innovations

2/23/10

We're all asked

to be creative

in changing times,

those who don't

suffer the dissonance

between past, future,

experienced as stress

within paradoxical existence,

where old truth

takes final gasp

before new supplants,

while during limbo

reality and dreams

vie for influence

through ideas, visions,

of vital reconstruction

life always demands

when evolution shifts

from environmental degradation,

humans distorted impact,

or economic failings,

this is opportunity

if one commits

intention to transform,

stripping what's unnecessary,

wanting, needing less,

discovering the structure

around soulful joy

then designing innovations.
