Hello fellow writers
Do you ever get the sense that life has taken an abrupt change of
direction? That life as we have known it, is shifting? That perhaps we
spend more time in artificial-living with technology than in direct
communication with others, in nature, with our own self? Or certainly
moving in that direction? That creating virtual realities is becoming
the norm in people's lives and that reality is becoming obsolete? Have
you seen the movie, "Obselidia?"

There is a ponderation walking along side me, in every moment along with
every breath my body inhales and exhales. A wondering how it is that my
humanity can be usurped quietly, imperceptibly. Yet I do notice and
my entire being bristles at the idea of my humanness being altered
through falseness of news, facts, profiles, electric and magnetic fields,
artificial weather, artificial intelligence, poisoned air, water and
food. That my mind is being altered by a reality that is someone else's.
The reliving of the well-known story, "Emperor's New Clothes" is
happening all around and no one truly saying anything. Yet.

Thankfully we are the observers. The writers. The storytellers.
Poets. Watching, listening. Recording. And through our own emotional
wiring, noting that things that truly matter--those things that make us
human, we are remembering, dreaming, and bringing into consciousness.
Setting signposts--markers, that denote progress and transgressions of
our humanness. Not unlike the small child who exclaimed, ""But he
hasn't got anything on."
Come join us and share your creations at our 19th "Ric's Poetry Mic".
See you soon fellow writers.
Be well and inspired,
Cheers,
Kat
