Creative Company

I’m so inspired by the beautiful people at the @texasbookfestival.  A sea of beautifully creative and talented people, plagued by imposter syndrome, but providing each other the courage to create anyway. 

In the company of creatives

consuming the collections

that encourage us

to clearly see

our craft

and capabilities,

I realize

no one really knows

their rarity,

remembers their ruthless

realness

or recognizes that they

relentlessly remind others

to really be.

In this space

of seeing the search

for sustenance

and how society still

slowly succumbs

to a soul-less settling,

I know

that none of us

needs more than we have,

now noticing the nagging,

non-sensical questions

that negotiate us out of

our knowledge,

I see the burgeoning

and becoming

of brilliance

beckon a boldness

to be beyond the boundaries

backing us into being less,

In the company of creatives,

questions are clear

but the clarity

in collecting confidence

through the collective

clears the air of doubt

and empowers us to be.
