Out of Sight Out of Mind
Excellence is to do a common thing in an uncommon way - Booker T. Washington
Meldrop and octothorpe
Augend or addend
Once they had a beginning
But seem to have met an end
Obelus and agelast
Pot-valor, wrest pin
Once so very prominent
With tales they used to spin
Limerence, obdurate
Can you say, sabbulonarium
They've grown and changed and birthed anew
Years past their roots of Arcadian
This marble turns around the sun
Evolution runs the race
Generations rise then turn to dust
Foundations are replaced
History stays where it is
Though lessons aren't forgotten
Just like words once made, shall stay
No matter how uncommon.

New Normal
There is always a moment — small, quiet, almost forgettable — when the spark stops being a warning and becomes a state. It never looks like a turning point from the outside. It’s not a dramatic shift. It’s not a cinematic beat. It’s a subtle internal click, a recalibration so slight that only someone who has lived this cycle as many times as I have would recognize it.
