Woke up sick today, but, worse, feeling a little regret for having skipped the Short Poetry Workshop last night. Since I usually write two poems at the workshop, I thought I should maybe make up for that in some way.
To Have Meaning by Michael Romani Driven by that desire A desire to have meaning Down to the wire It is more than just being Pushing forward Even when misunderstood Moving toward That which is seen as good Going deeper than the win Back to the places of the heart Sometimes means to begin again Revisiting the places we start These are the places of traction In helping others to succeed Giving more sweet satisfaction In the planting of this seed (c) May 24, 2017 Michael Romani

I’m glad you enjoyed it!! You should probably know that you are kind of living one of my dreams. I’ve always wanted to travel the United States photographing and writing about the beauty and history along the way. I am very glad that you’re getting the chance to that. 🙂

I find solace in the outdoors because my life is really tough which is something I don’t write about here. I think I’d go insane if I don’t find some kind of outlet. I do appreciate the beauty that surrounds me and try to make the most out of it. 😊 I hope you get to live this dream as well sometime soon.😊🏜🛣⛺️🏔

Who knows, right? I had 14,000 photographs from California, the surrounding states, Indiana and the surrounding states, and some other photos from elsewhere. But, I’d love to get back on the road again sometime. Meanwhile, I’ve been exploring a virtual world for all it’s worth and am rapidly approaching getting a replacement 14,000 photographs under my camera belt so to speak. Sad to hear that you’ve been having a rough time. For what it’s worth, you’re now in my thoughts and prayers.
