Excerpt from a dragon poem I'm working on 🐉
[Dragon Dreams]
As a child:
You believed in me—
fantastic creature of might and power.
The books you read
would take you away
to lands and people
that made you feel more alive
than in the world around you.

Tomorrow is #WednesdayWIPs.
Bring your work-in-progress —
or bring your update.
What’s moving.
What’s stuck.
What you’re sitting with.
This is about process, not perfection.
We show up for each other by showing where we are.

Watching Crosswalk Concert again with BTS. It was so fun and the best part the parody of BTS speaking Korean with the English subtitles.
