Never quit because someone asks why
Your weird and wonderful hobby
Dancing in the rain
Singing it loud
Hugging a tree
Talk to strange cats
Smell a flower
Buy more fabric
Buy more paint
Even if you don’t know the dress or quilt yet
Even if you cannot yet see the painting
Don’t let others’ ‘Why?’
Stop your joy*
*(Well obviously as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone. Just in case you are looking for an excuse here.)

Failure Poetry
So the last couple of days I was at a conference and one of the key note speaker made us either draw a picture or write a poem. Yeah of course I wrote a poem. The caveat was it had to be a poem about failure. And as you might know I always struggle with the failure discourse around having ADHD so my poem focused on that:
I fail to adhere to
Rules
Expectations
Norms
Often
Don’t ask me to
Squish
Wiggle
Squirm
Into
A place that doesn’t fit
Let me dance in the falling leaves
Ride on thunderstorms
Weave webs of compassionate togetherness
But do not
Not ever
Put me on a leash
