Ocean's Inquiry Poem
Questions of life's being
Who am I today?
Who am I tomorrow?
What breaking wave will swallow me whole?
What moment of stillness will I try to behold?
Where will the swelling turquoise ripples take me?
Where will the moonlight’s gaze bathe my face?
When will the smiling sun cast its beams?
Why am I a flowing partner in Sea’s dance?
Why am I afraid of the tide waves?
Nobody’s crystal ball truly knows.
Nobody has life’s plan whispering in their ear.
Too many mysteries.
Too many veiled horizons.
What am I to do?
To live.
To be.
To breathe.
To be swayed with life’s ocean rhythm.

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.
