The Duartes
my family is quiet about their sorrows
they put up a mask of strength and resilience
its not that they hide their tragedies
they talk about it openly
but heal with energy from the trees,
with their busy and monotonous routines
on their farm
with the understanding that terrible things happen
in their lives and finding resilience
in the most extenuating of tragedies
in order to move forward
Do you ever see wild animals?
Do you have a favorite place you have visited? Where is it?
What is one thing you would change about yourself?
Are you more of a night or morning person?
What are your feelings about eating meat?
If you could meet a historical figure, who would it be and why?
Do you trust your instincts?
What book are you reading right now?
Is there an age or year of your life you would re-live?
lean into your inner child, let your spirit once again
be filled with awe and wonder
forget society’s rules that tells you to act your age
to control yourself,
who determines these stupid conventions and norms
anyways
sing out loud at the table, dance in your office
tell a stranger you’re glad they exist,
run in a field of flowers and giggle
lean into your inner child, let your spirit once again
be filled with awe and wonder
Who are your favorite artists?
What was the last thing you searched for online? Why were you looking for it?
What TV shows did you watch as a kid?
Was today typical?
