I heard David Whyte speak read poetry and share dialog and it has left me bereft of anxiety with his wisdom poetically dropped like snowflakes onto an open tongue he supposed that genius is simply the amalgamation of all that is within you all that is within each of us genius this brought my sight to my sons four of them so alike to look at yet so different on the inside with a momma’s sight my eyes can see this David Whyte truth for now in their third decade of life all of them my boys shaping themselves into a future unique and real I see how if they stand close side by side still like a camera popping before them still the capture that is captured is the amalgamation of their each unique yet together entwined genius
we are the only creation who refuses to be themselves but rather fights their life to become something else
together these men of mine become side by side
and me alone yet there as well become
