They #blur the lines they plan to cross and hope we will not see what's lost. #vss365

The more that you can prove, the less you need believe. Yet faith can make minds move, and facts, at times, aggrieve. Are faith and proof opposed? A #conundrum that persists- but neither path is closed, for in minds they coexist. #vss365

A.I. is not a foolproof tool In fact, it’s apt to act the fool With #scrutiny, its faults show plainly That’s why thinking’s best done brainly. #vss365

Make your voice heard- Every phrase, every word- Make it clear & sincere So we’ll hear & be stirred. Then polish your sound So it’s pure & profound Like a diamond refined As it’s mined from the ground. Sing loud & sing strong With a #sonorous song, And we’ll all sing along. #vss365

So will our doom be petty cares or merely brute #caprice? To push up never-ending stairs and blindly pass by peace? There’s much to marvel at in life, but minds are far too strewn with fickle fruit and buried strife to mirror a poet’s tune. #vss365 poets.org/poem/yet-do-...

The grim #eventuality of every life demising should make us strive, while we're alive, to warrant eulogizing. #vss365

A #bellwether knows which way the wind blows and when we should change from the path that we chose. #vss365

I hope to #reinvigorate the normative appeal of reading words that humans wrote, not words A.I. helped steal. #vss365

I read Calvin & Hobbes like it’s one of my jobs and it’s taught me there’s joy in belief. When I read Charlie Brown, if I’m up or I’m down, it reminds me that life has good grief. #Perhaps we all need some good comics to read and we’ll gain more than comic relief. #vss365

Fear those who make, as best they can, #catastrophe their business plan. #vss365

The path from the stork to the hearse is not straight. It twists and it turns as we follow our fate. Each curve and #extrusion draws us toward our end. And when our time’s up, we just hope we ascend. #vss365

Your mind is best sustained and fed by thoughts absorbed from books you've read. A diet purely online-based inclines a mind to go to waste. A healthy mental menu means you pick up books and put down screens. The #synthesis of page and ink makes food for thought to help you think. #vss365

Fate and circumstances oft #conspire to reveal which dreams are merely musings and which dreams someday turn real. #vss365

The human mind is not designed to endlessly withstand the algorithmic rage machines we carry in our hand. Put down the phone from time to time. Don't let it take control. We need to #rein the hatred in before it swipes our soul. #vss365

I think that the internet ought to run slow like back in the dial-up days, decades ago, with one screen per minute the most we could scroll to stop tech's assault on our eyes and our soul and let our minds breathe and reflect and debate so we'll #flinch from this path of division and hate. #vss365

I hoped I’d be a writer and I tried it for a while. I had no sense of sentence structure, grammar, tone or #style. I can’t compose in prose and make it poignant, and I know it. But if I write in rhyme, perhaps I’ll make it as a poet. #vss365

A pen and piece of paper have #potential to inspire, whereas scrolling social media pulls kids into the mire. So give your kids some paper and a break from all the screens to allow them to determine for themselves what meaning means. #vss365

Online all our discourse seems fractured and frosted and sometimes it seems like good will is #exhausted but dignity, kindness, and honest respect can bridge over schisms and help us connect. #vss365

Our love will not end when decades pass by when mountains wear down and rivers run dry. Our love will not end when time topples trees when islands descend and shores become seas. Our love will not end on earth or above- though many things end, those things are not love.

It's rare to find a billionaire the rest of us find #bearable They hoard what others need, and what they've got, they deem unshareable The things they tweet and say now stray from tone-deaf to just terrible I hope the wreck they're causing in our country is repairable. #vss365

Could any #wrapper hide and hold a ticket truly made of gold? The chocolate bar would surely bend and corners would stick out the end. Perhaps the magic of that tale was that the packaging for sale held strong until, per Wonka’s plans, a ticket found heroic hands. #vss365

We wade in the wake of the waves our words make and revel the ride that we take on their tide. At times we may drift, and at times we uplift, but the #power of words to make waves is our gift. #vss365

Some see an open #doorway and they wonder where it goes. Other people see that doorway and can’t wait to slam it closed. #vss365

A love that lasts a whole life long At some point will contend With peaks and valleys, grace and grief, And parting in the end. But if you take a #chance on love, And if that love is pure, You’ll find it’s worth each high and low To see that love endure. #vss365

I hope that writers certify which books are made with no A.I. so readers have the chance to choose a book with only human views. And if A.I. is used, each store should raise the price a few bucks more to compensate the human brains whose work gets swiped when A.I. trains. 📚💙 #booksky #vss365

We had a good thing going, but the billionaires got bored And figured our attention was the next thing they would hoard. An #article of faith I hold is that it’s never wise To only read what rich folks want to put before your eyes. #vss365

I try to live life #conscious of the dad my children see. I hope my words and actions help reflect the best of me. I've tried to help them chase their dreams and not just chase the crowd. I pray that when I'm gone, what they remember makes them proud. #vss365

My flesh is made of atoms, and each atom has a past. I wonder in whose bodies all those atoms were in last. It's kind of #arbitrary, how our bloodlines are defined, when we're all composed of atoms other beings left behind. #vss365

When dreams #elude, go give them chase. When paths are blocked, then seek new space. When you feel lost, leave crumbs to find. There’s virtue in a restless mind. #vss365

The time we have becomes our #past. The time that’s left will run out fast. The time we spend will all get spent. Make sure you’re glad where your time went. #vss365

The people #yearn for honest news, not bent-knee, bootlicked corporate views. #vss365

You take some stars, you see some space, you use imagination, and suddenly a far-off place becomes a #constellation. #vss365

My lower school librarian would save me books she'd find because she knew I'd read them through and they'd improve my mind. Now all the kids have phones and apps, and not to sound contrarian, but algorithms can't replace the role of a librarian. #vss365

Our phones are designed to enrage and incite Their apps algorithmically urge us to fight A cure to correct this #malignant malaise is to use books to block out your phone from your gaze. #vss365

If #sentient beings should somewhere exist, please send UFOs to show earth what it's missed. #vss365

#Audacious hope is often found exactly where despair’s around. #vss365

Our hearts provide the drum beats. The #bass lines are our breaths. Our minds pick out the melodies And we dance until our deaths. #vss365

Ideas taste best well-cooked and warmed. Half-baked, like cake they get #malformed. #vss365

Good things never seem to last And right now #reeks of bad things past. #vss365

We're sick of the chaos. We miss the #mundane. Please stop at the station- we're leaving this train. Let's shut down the circus and leave it behind and strive to be normal, pragmatic, and kind. #vss365

Days spent prosaically stuck in routines glued to the glow of addictive machines dampen our dreaming & make us #mundane, stuck in a rut & entrenched in our lane. (1/2) #vss365

It's good to keep a #vigil for the things you've loved and lost, but if you can act to save them, then that chance is worth the cost. #vss365

When I read books, it helps me breathe. When I scroll screens, it makes me #seethe. I fear the way our future looks if scrolling screens replace our books. #vss365

If you download the net to a #bionic brain, it will not end up smart but, more likely, insane. #vss365

Which one will write your epitaph: the golden rule or golden calf? The #abject choice we tend to choose displays how gold can prove us fools. #vss365

When words must bear weight, keep them short and sincere and, like dragonfly #wings, be uplifting, yet clear. #vss365

None of our science exactly explains The way that things work deep within human brains Which means that A.I. can’t create or control The #mystical systems that give our selves soul. #vss365

I do not think our needs and cares should hinge on #grumpy billionaires. #vss365

Somewhere over, way up high, a #rainbow waits for clouds to cry. #vss365

Live till it hurts. Love till it mends. #Laugh till it helps. Dream till it ends. #vss365
