RHYTHM AND BLUES

 

First of all, you have to have them:

the blues.

You also have to have good sound:

rhythm.

Take the time to be aware

of what you’re really feeling:

hurt, hurried, or deep down down.

Next comes the music –

aware of those clouds –

aware of the rain.

Feel that weather

before it changes,

before it floats away.

Capture it: the rhythm and the blues.

CAPABLE

 

Capable?

I don’t know.

Have to think about it.

I guess it’s also an, “It all depends.”

Professional?

I never used that description about me.

Learned a few things at school and lectures,

workshops and watching others, but mostly

learned from the experience of out there working.

So if you ask me – or wonder if I’m capable -

try me. Time will tell. You can make the judgement.

COMPARISONS

 

Sometimes somebody says,

“No comparisons.” Like a

“No Smoking” sign it

sometimes works – but

most of the time, no.

Life is filled with the same

old same old – along with

so many differences. Yet

we’re constantly comparing

people with our expectations

for them. Yet, we forget to

check our unfair lack of

understanding others –

while giving ourselves

an A + every time.
