There was a training this week. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday! I couldn't publish anything on my phone or until I got home. So, I wrote the following sitting in the training when others were presenting.
It's a training
and not raining.
70 degrees
sun shinning
beautiful trees.

Where do I belong
Who am I?
Were questions of how long
it can take for my
people to get better.
Sometimes we need to write a letter.
Do some trauma, grief and loss
work. Get time off from the boss.
~
Spend the time
it can be rhyme
Poetry is healing.
Art is helpful for dealing
with our trauma.
Instruments, music and drama
all are healing us
with little to no fuss

I was going through the stories I wrote way before Vocal and found a series I’d penned on the American movie industry. I covered the economics of making and distributing movies, the ways the movie industry responds to modern challenges such as MeToo movement and the streaming technologies, and other topics, including some movie reviews.

Ah, I remember going to trainings as a nurse. You can learn a lot even while doing a few other little things to pass the time in training.
Oooo, what snacks did you bring? Loved your poem!
Interesting to read.
