Pick a pen;
Scribble every now and then,
To be understood
As much as you can.
But take time to listen
And hear the other end;
To learn and blend–
And perhaps win a friend.
Open your mouth in needed occasions;
Fearlessly, speak your thoughts and insights and visions
With no inhibition–
To let your voice be heard is a noble mission.
But find a way to solitude:
A moment with books is always good.
A moment of silence can tune
Your mind and soul.
And you grow.

Good, but a little bit anxious due to the pandemic. Hawai’i’s cases are very low compared to other states. However, we’re experiencing a surge.
