To be creative
Am I good enough?
How to judge?
Should I care?
I want to create, contribute and share
So, yes, I should care
But not let the doubt stop me

Doubt

Another World
A crack in the pavement
Look within
Another world
Troops on the march
Hidden within their trench
Organised
Servile
Ever aware
All hail the Queen

Arid Hearts
Arid hearts
Infertile, dead and cold
In need of nurturing
Requiring fertilisation
A shower of love
A planting of an idea.

Ten
The countdown begins.
Tension mounts.
The rumble of an earthquake.
Teeth shaking in your head.
Trust in your colleagues.
Trust in your training.
The cockpit begins to blur.
And then… Heavier than you have ever felt.
More noise than you have ever heard.
Can this thing possibly stay in one piece?
But in the end.
Weightlessness and silence.
Such contrasts, so quickly.
