Inspiration comes in fits and spurts, laced with time, warmed with the heart. Each of my offerings began with a whisper, a pause to see, hear, and reflect.

The Good
Do not negate the Good
With the pollution of bad
The difference
Moves us in a direction
Closer or further
From the heart of kind
Celebrate what is
What you can do
Give voice to solutions.
And Inclusiveness.
Make peace a virtue.
See what is wrong.
Act to change.
But do not negate the Good.
Tenderness
I’ve come to the end of feeling.
A tear drops with this loss.
I know not what else is in store.
I endure.
Complaints have no place.
Pain pokes the heart.
I know not to resist.
I persist.
I’ve found my voice.
Within tears of acceptance
I know no other way.
I stay.
Perspective
The view beyond the mountain
Is no more beautiful than
The spot on which I stand.
No Judgement
The good news, the bad news
Equal in delivering knowledge
A trigger for innovation
Acceptance
Roads Well Worn
The inevitable course of life
Takes us on bumpy paths
That end where life begins
Weathered with experiences
Why We Laugh
Humor
Blankets the fear
Comforts those
We hold dear.
About Abbe
Abbe Rolnick grew up in the suburbs of Baltimore, Maryland. Her first major cultural jolt occurred at age 15 when her family moved to Miami Beach, Florida. To find perspective, she climbed the only non-palm tree at her condo complex and wrote what she observed. History came alive with her exposure to Cuban culture. After attending Boston University, she lived in Puerto Rico, where she owned a bookstore. Once Stateside, she capitalized on the knowledge she gained as an independent bookstore owner and worked for one of the finest bookstores, Village Books, in Bellingham, Washington. Once a CEO of a manufacturing firm and owner of a healthy foods café, she is now retired and spends her time writing.
