What do you use
to measure success
Is it gold
or a memory that shines
Your wealth in a bank note
or choices now free
Every moment
—more precious with time
(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2019)
The Hydra
Still holding onto yesterday,
tomorrow calls my name
The comfort of what time has blessed,
my life within its frame
Those two directions—front and back,
a hydra running loose
Do I embrace what’s in the past
—or what is yet to choose
(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2019)
Heaven Made
Does an animal have
a sense of itself
To once question
why things are this way
Does it think about freedom
beyond our recall
As it lives and then dies
—heaven made
(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2019)
Courting Truth
Do you intimidate yourself…
If you do
You need to go back to work
Mining the fear
Destroying your ego
Intrepidation courting truth
(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2019)

Kurt,
What do I use to
measure success?
It’s not ‘gold’,
or ‘a bank note’...
It’s my two shining stars
💫 💫...
and every precious moment
gifted to me!
