Block and Write

"Goals" tab from my current planner

Cleaning out old boxes from school, I rediscovered this really great author from my past. This author has only been discovered by one person; this one voice encouraged the author to be what she is: a writer. And gave the author's 11th grade English papers 100% marks... unless they were late, which they were consistently.


Ironically, they're still consistently late.


But better late than never, right?


Rediscovering the truth
in old, musty cardboard boxes, challenging
to old ways and untruths
and unlearning the roads rutted in the mind
when that one voice from the past calls out
red ink
contrasts black type
from the preserved white sheet
Be what you truly are!
The world seen in block and write
slowly regains color.
