Rain Falls

1/27/2023

Since September 2022, a motto + practice of mine has been: "Use AI. Don't let AI use you."
With my prompting, this post's image was generated by AI on NightCafe.

Rain falls to engorge
seeds, roots and crops
with life-icious water drops.

Rain falls to slow some plans,
to light some candles,
and hold some hands.

Rain falls to transform your system
from nervous,
to calm.

Rain falls to reset your ears
from bells and alarms
to tiny crashes of splashing water.

Rain falls to remind you
to also be fresh
like it, and the air.

The question "How are you?" is PROFOUND.

But it has been watered-down to a synonym for "Hello."

Forced or fake auto-responses of obligated okay-ness are expected.

(And if you are going through something tragic, it really doesn't matter! Every social encounter OPENS with this well-established Ritual of Insincerity.)

The question "How are you?" prompts an answer that begins with "I AM _____________."

This means many times each day, you are invited to SPEAK THE MOST POWERFUL STATEMENT that can be spoken of yourself.

And the socially-expected thing to do, is be QUICK + SLICK with your answer.

For a change... TAKE YOUR TIME, and tell your truth. ✍🏾
