A Swift Kick In The Behind... 💪🏾
~~2026 Motivational Poetry~~
How do you keep writing when your trophy case is bare? Keep doing it for God, his children & the culture; life is not always fair.
Always remember that JOY still lives & breathes the morning after you and said loss meet and that persistence, patience, and preparation have a special way of disarming defeat.
Injustice stand down. It is righteousness's time to shine! Now move out of the way before I give you a swift kick in the behind!

Trickle Them Down, But Not Out
The thing about smart people is that they should know better, but alas, intelligence is not the same as wisdom. Not only do the mistakes of experts too short on vision—when they are not corrected—have the potential to do great and far-reaching damage, but they also undermine public confidence in the very notion of expertise. This is particularly so when expertise is wielded in defence of the rich and powerful as a cudgel against those laid low. As an academic, this lack of faith in “so-called experts” is painful to see as it plays out in the spread of dis-/misinformation, conspiracy theories, and anti-intellectualism writ large. But it is also an understandable impulse given the catastrophic failure of an economic ideology pushed by certain economic experts. Supply-side economics has shaped a broken system for the last half-century and has arguably done more to undermine the fabric of the American Dream than any policy framework of the past century.

Ha ha, that is a kick in the front hind - we all want to fill the cases with all of the trophies...we need all the upliftment that we can get. Some more for me please. Feelings of joy welcome TG.
No one knows better than me about bare trophy cases here. You know that, I know that...if we wrote just for trophies we would have been long gone. Many of us need that swift kick to wake us up. Hey---hugs.
Well done, this felt like a firm but loving push forward. It reminded me that purpose matters more than applause. I needed that reminder today.
Daahlink Tg - Admit it, you do it for you because you SoCan..! Recognition is certainly important. But, those of us who never enter a challenge know that YOU are the BEST judge of you..! And, I'm in awe of you..! jk.bud.in.l.a.
