We Need More Poetry!
Poetry, like looking up at the moon instead of down at a Blackberry, is all too rare these days.
We need more poetry! We need more poets! We need more business people willing to express their "softer" side on the job -- especially if we want to raise the bar for creativity and bold new ideas.
We also need more YouTube videos like this one featuring the delightful words of Poet Laureate Billy Collins. Go, Billy, go!

our memory is protected
by the blessing of forgetfulness
from the times we were away
from what we once desired
and even thought we possessed
while living in the past
from what we once projected
and even thought we did
while living in the future
from what and who we yearned for
and even felt we loved
while living in eternity
our memory is just an album
of the rare times we are here
we are present, we are back
