Fostering respectful public debate to encourage diversity, acceptance and social change.

This blog is an experiment in sharing my thoughts, ideas and struggles. It is meant to be a safe place to encourage experiencing a viewpoint that may be different from your own.

My goal is not to necessarily change any minds but to perhaps contribute to the process of opening minds.

I believe that the more that we can experience the world through the eyes of another the more civil our society can become.

"A conversation is a dialogue, not a monologue. That's why there are so few good conversations: due to scarcity, two intelligent talkers seldom meet." – Truman Capote.

desideratum

“When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical is madness. To surrender dreams — this may be madness. Too much sanity may be madness — and maddest of all: to see life as it is, and not as it should be!”
- Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Don Quixote

Somewhere Off the Coast of Memory

Somewhere Off the Coast of Memory
by Carl Josehart

somewhere off the coast of memory
lies the isle of destiny
awash in the sea of change

ships of opportunity
glide gently atop
tides of choice
repetitively breaking
against shores of indecision

promised lands
wait
beyond sight
behind vibrant rose sunsets
below far horizons
somewhere off the coast of memory
