Do You? (A Poem by Jinxi)
Do You?
Do you...
paint your convictions?
Do you...
write with concern?
Do you...
photograph time?
Do you...
smile at strangers?
Do you...
comfort their pain?
Do you...
anguish for the destitute?
Do you...
have compassion for the defenseless?
Do you...
wake with a purpose?
Do you...
imagine and devise?
Do you...
stand for truth?
Do you...
dare to change?
Do you...
make a difference?

Thanks, this was a lttle reminder to me as well...write you fool!WRITE!
I must admit that may answer to almost all those questions is "I don't".
The question mark reminds me of that Black Eyed Pees song "Where is the love". They also ask a lot of retorical and almost philosophical questions in that song.
Beautiful! And you do each one of those!! You just put yourself down on paper, didn't you?! You are writing and living your dream! Good for you!!!
That poem is wonderful & very thought provoking! Thanks for sharing it. :)
If more people thought like you & answered these questions truthfully with a YES, the world would be a much better place!!
Thank you for sharing this Jinxi!
...And it is a wonderful reminder that we should take a moment to look inside ourselves and question whether or not we are truly struggling to be the person we desire to be.

Another inspirational post Jinxi!!!
Pierre, if you didn't listen to the BEP's, all of your answers would undoubtedly be "I do", lol... just kidding. ;-)
I love the photograph time. Great work Jinxi!! Your mind is a wonderful place to visit. You are truly an inspiration to many women on many different levels. Keep it up da'ling. xoxo
