Latest Thoughts

Real

Seventeen hundred startups were taking residence in their own space across nine pavilions.  I still struggle to imagine how a founder might think s/he would stand out. Big, small, active, and hiding behind a screen, seemingly unwilling to catch the eyes of those walking by, every stand and exhibit had something to say.  AI was a shared word in a large majority.  I am...

Pick

I sat at the table, waiting, reflecting, and wondering. While I had no significant decisions waiting, there were choices in front of me, several asking to be made. Part of me wanted to make a decision or two and put several options behind me.  Although the ask was clear, I sat silently, letting the alternatives remain untouched.  I knew my best step forward...

Messy

The building at sunset obviously needed to be washed.  It was messy and unkempt.  The dirty streaks on the reflection glass were clearly visible, especially in the sunset reflection.  The birds were doing bird stuff as they sat on the thin ledge.  By most measures, the scene and photograph were messy and far from perfect.  I stood still, silently considering the scene.  Something about the scene...

Openings

 The construction wall has been in place for more than six years.  Large sections have been replaced, some multiple times.  There is an exception, a door to who knows where.  I am not sure why I did not notice it before.  This afternoon, the temporary fix to give someone access stood out as tattered, maybe functional, and with the materials at hand. It may not...

Limits

It was a new restaurant offering an unknown cuisine and culture.  I had heard of the country.  With glowing food comments and a start-up founder on his way to great things, everything I imagined about what would follow was wrapped in a glow of hope and possibilities.  With the order placed, I considered fresh salt and pepper's potential roles in what would follow.  As helpful...

Loop

I have no idea where the mural wants to take me. When I pass it, I feel a wave and nothing more. It is like I am stuck in a loop with no breaks or opportunities to exit. It may have been a curious experience the first time. I do not know if I see anything when I see the artwork...

Scars

I sat in the restaurant, staring at the scar on the limb, knowing today was coming.  Today is the shared birthday of two significant influencers in my life.  They are both gone now.  As much as I can echo the familiar themes of their words and shared experiences living on in my life, it is hard to get beyond the scars left in their...

Artwork

The art piece on the wall of the Georgian restaurant was more than a mural and, for me, not quite a work of art.  I could see and feel a message, yet it seemed more commercial than artistic.  As much as I enjoyed it, I felt no emotions during or after.  I walked away thinking it was pointing me to something, perhaps the food,...

Emergency Response

The panel was simple, silent, and almost unmarked.  There were no signs or indicators that it was on the wall. In the designer's opinion, the obvious did not need to be emphasised.  Until I became aware, I had not considered what actions I would take if there were a fire emergency.  Now that I had seen the panel, my mind slowed down with visuals...
