a sense of place – v4

We share a sense of place,
of connection to this land,
to these people, brothers,
sisters, neighbors,
those here by birth, by choice
this incredible beauty,

We share a love of community
investing, gathering together
sharing deeply, hopes,
creating one vision
for our region, this place,
this place that we love,

We share this moment
of hope, of inspiration
charting a course together
for a future, for our lives
for our families, our neighbors,
within this special region,

We share a hope for tomorrow
for a rising future, a path forward
a raising of all boats with the rising tide
building upon the blueprint, the plan
these images, these words
written on these pages.

friction and gravity


friction and gravity
forces of nature
added to the equation
putting fetters on our hopes
on the dreams within us
even before they are spoken

doubts to chain our lives
if we let them, only,
if we stop and listen
to the voices around us
if we limit our vision
to what we can yet see
