Invaluable vs Unvaluable

If you are invaluable, it means you are indispensable. If you are unvaluable, it means you are worthless. The difference in spelling is significant. Just like the work that you may or may not do in order to achieve its distinction. Talk is unvaluable. Empty promises are the staple of politicians. Actions define your bottom […]

Self-Acknowledged Artist

I’m not talking delusions of grandeur. I’m talking about appreciation. If you create anything, at all, you know it’s not easy. Getting to build anything from the ground up comes with trials, but what it doesn’t come with is inadequate ability.  If you are lucky enough to get to create, measuring by money isn’t where

Battling One Thousand

The phrase ‘you’re one in a million,’ doesn’t hold the same water that it used to. For math’s sake let’s say that the current population of the world is 8 billion people.  At that rate, if you’re ‘one in a million,’ that just means you’re in the top eight thousand. That doesn’t roll of the

This is our Arena!

Vision doesn’t come to everyone.But even the blind can see. The blank canvas is our sand.The ink, our ichor.Gladiators, are you ready? What you do, what we all do, matters.How we do it, matters.That we do it…together…matters. People first told stories with their hands.Leaving paint and soot on cave walls as a historical mark.For hundreds

On the Precipice of Oblivion

It’s there.We may not want to see it.We may be ambivalent towards it.But we are, all of us, toeing that line. Obscurity isn’t a fate worse than death.It means there’s hope.There is no hope through death.If you are obscure, it means that you haven’t been discovered by the masses yet.It doesn’t mean that you aren’t

A Litany of Whatnots

The reality of dreams can be fleeting. Sometimes it’s as hard to see the storm for what it is while you’re standing in the middle of it. You can wake up from a nightmare and not have a firm grasp on what’s gotten you all worked up. Life is the same way, especially if you’re

Intellectually Insufficient 

It’s a foolish world.Maybe the sage wisdom of Solomon turned a blind eye? We live in an environment where commercial doesn’t just reign, it kills.Articles are written with subverted text, just to bury the content and bring out the Search Engine Optimization.The dumbification of journalism has been countered by ineptitude and unwavering faith in an

The Tao of the Warrior Sloth

The Warrior Sloth does not make threats.Theirs is a war of attrition.They simply exist with the relentless knowledge that those they pursue will know of their enduring chase long before their arrival. It is not the strength and power of the lion. Or the glit and glamour of the cheetah.  A horse can gallop under the

One Mountain at a Time

Everyone wants to be the hero of their own story.I mean, it is YOUR story after all.Getting to that summit, and counting victory through perseverance…at all costs…right? What you do, and how you do it, effects more than just you. In the 1940′,. Polio was wrecking America.It was rampant.People died; lives were derailed.Hopes were sacrificed.Some
