that first move
awkward senryu
have your lips been kissed
he asks, won’t move, standing still
I laugh, wait, then leave

LEADERSHIP EDGE
Leadership is a unique blend of innate talent and acquired skills. Born leaders are naturally gifted with leadership qualities, which they hone through self-observation, self-teaching, and experience. On the other hand, trained leaders are mentored and guided by experienced leaders or mentors. While some born leaders may also benefit from mentorship, their innate leadership characteristics set them apart. The key difference between born and trained leaders lies in their purpose. Born leaders are driven by an inherent sense of purpose, which fuels their passion and vision. Trained leaders, while skilled and knowledgeable, may lack this innate drive. Ultimately, the purpose of leadership remains the same - to inspire and drive positive change. Whether you're a born leader or a trained one, your goal is to motivate your team to achieve greatness. Effective leadership is about harnessing your unique strengths and skills to make a meaningful impact.

Engulfing Light
I have not been very successful in quieting my mind this evening. I find that as time goes by, I find myself in deeper contemplation, in regards to the purpose of my life. I can say with certainty, that thus far, I have had a life, that with all things considered, has been a well lived one.
