And then all the #Don'ts are the things that when you do them you disrupt your life and others' so badly that it's a shitshow heading right down the slide into #Desolation. If taken as #Advice from your #Grandfather you'll quit being offended won't you? Think about those things in #Practical terms.

What are you proud of?

Rojie asks:

What are you proud of?

What am I proud of, huh? What about that whole pride going before a fall thing? I might not be full of faith, but I can make up for it in superstition. So if not what I’m proud of, then what do I talk about now?

The things I’m not proud of? No, too easy.

I’ve known some prideful and boastful people in my life and you know what? I don’t know that any of them were overly interesting people. Or caring and compassionate people. How can you be a caring person if all you talk about is yourself? I think we’re all somewhat guilty of talking about ourselves though. It’s natural, it’s what we know well, and it’s also a pretty safe topic if you’re not a great conversationalist, but at some point doesn’t the other person, the other half of the conversation sitting over there, become interested in something else?

Wouldn’t conversations be a lot simpler if we all had telepathy and could just read other’s thoughts instead of talking to them?

I found three old flash drives today and spent some time looking at stuff I had saved. I was surprised to find a folder filled with a bunch of things I’d written going back to 2010. There was a story I’d written about my grandfather who died when he was 78-years-old and that was sad. I also found a lot of poems I’d written and one of them was a poem I wrote on my birthday. I remember sharing it at the time in an online writing group and I remember everyone telling me – very nicely, all of them – how it didn’t make sense and it was confusing and other stuff I didn’t care to read. It made sense to me back then and it still made sense to me today but I can see why it failed. I’m thinking with some work I can maybe make it make sense to others? We’ll see.

I also found a bunch of pictures on one of the flash drives and that was pretty cool. I’ve really changed a lot in the last 16 years. I wonder what I’ll look like at 78?

4 Poems by Nattie O’Sheggzy

THINGS THAT MATTER

There is little promise in the things he left
hanging in the dark recesses of his mind’s attic.

My granddad lapped up the remaining potatoes,
He loved the dregs of the broth and the stub of days left:

The little sleep nudging and knocking on his eyes,
And the crystal crumbs crying uneaten on the plate.

He shredded sweet meats with forked toothpicks,
A tired mouth disdained the rinds of cheese.

The tiny crimps on the suit he missed in the ironing
Lingered like sore fingers of a leprous hand.

All the small words that stuck to his throat like phlegm
and the bigger world of remembering those days,

Those tiny footnotes his life had become
Sat like dust on the oaken table, grey and tangible.

At last, he mowed down his once-hot soup,
And the bistre in his eyes asked not for pity.

~~

GEOMETRY OF THE DAY AFTER

What happens when the sirens
stop? Think of the silence,
or the rhetoric’s sweet sonic
in the city’s cold tumult.
Talk of the spikelets raising
heads after the clean shave.
I choose you, a stranger’s outstretched
hand, after the unmerciful quiet
wears your face to the bones.
I see your ears

Pockmarked in blood, your name, splattered
across the city’s grey face,
cake into a totem cream.
The sounds you bear
from rapping the door and flaking the wall
in the city hall, conjure the ghost of
the last frost.
The only time birds sang
in the blistered sky
was when the moon wrestled the earth.

~~

AS THE OVERPLAYED TURNTABLE GROANS

The world holds its breath as if sweet stenches
from the trenches were some fetish to disdain or dissuade.
The skeletal threads of fire and brimstone chainsaws to teacups.
Morning hailstorms ground the waters of Hormuz.
Brackish taste remembers what the smell strains to unlearn.
Every step is a swindle of note. Every word a luxury.

Every tap dance kneads a hollow sound in the bones
from the brain that owns a hundred ritual regrets
to the trails of ourselves in the shadow overlooking
the cliff we turn to for a plunge. We love grunge
whether the sun sinks behind hills or
the world frays at its forked ends.

We are worn-out fingers on a ploughshare,
the forgotten half-life of a smoldering song.

~~

PARABLE OF THREE TANGLED SPIRITS

Freedom rides in the saddle of death.
In his hands lie the reins and the kingdom,
neither sauntering nor galloping in the streets of Jerusalem,
not sweating or wallowing in Golgotha’s fields.
Thoughts scurry away
until the trial pales into a shadow.

In the remnants of a losing battle and a strained home,
Jesus dreams of marrying a shadow.
Neither flesh nor soft touch stays,
but silence
that sways like miracles within.
Smoothly, the water splits into wine,

When Mary and Martha linger at his feet,
it is as if the lips of heaven were kissing
His Holy Ventriloquist with the magic words.
How will a spiritual eye choose between two beauties?
One ruby-haired and full-bosomed. The other
blue-eyed and sprite. What is the cost of the fragrance
in shekels? And the trio spar unclad in a serpent bed

where the sheets frayed in a million places.
A pillow strains with mixed blood and lumps
of a built-in liberty; in the transfiguration of love,
intransigence hardens a garden into a layered city
where bones and walls refuse to die.

Dedushka, or: Saba

A ‘Garland’ Shadorma

oldest child
born in poverty
raised at a
children's home
because his parents couldn't
afford to feed him

hunger pangs
caught with potatoes
left behind
on the field
shipped off to fight the Nazis
without a weapon

at the front
fell in a meat wave
stabbed at war
through the calf
by Germans probing corpses
crawled back through the night

taught himself
how to speak Russian
for college
self-made man
became the chief engineer
at a major plant

in Vilnius
under Soviets
my Saba
a proud Yid
hired Refusenik engineers
fired for Jewish souls

gave up his
party membership
cursed the damned
Communists
for antisemitism—and
moved to Israel

oldest child
caught with potatoes
stabbed at war
self-made man
hired Refusenik engineers
moved to Israel

‘Garland’ Shadorma?

The ‘Garland’ Shadorma was created by Sylvia Cognac, modeled after the ‘Garland’ Cinquain. Essentially, it is a Shadorma series of seven stanzas, with the seventh and final stanza being composed of lines from all six previous stanzas.

Tanka Tuesday

For Tanka Tuesday, Robbie encourages us to compose syllabic poems that includes a story. My above shadorma is about my grandfather (saba).

My grandfather grew up very poor, was forced to fight the Nazis in World War II without a weapon, and was badly wounded; but he survived and taught himself Russian so he could become a top engineer in Soviet Lithuania.

Even when the government threatened him, he kept hiring Jewish engineers who were punished for applying for exit visas to Israel. In the end, he gave up his cursed the antisemitism around him, Communist Party membership, and moved with his family to Israel.

Let’s write poetry together!

When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.

–Ben Harper (b. 1969)

Would you like to create poetry with me and have a completed poem of yours featured here at the Skeptic’s Kaddish? I am very excited to have launched the ‘Poetry Partners’ initiative and am looking forward to meeting and creating with you… Check it out!

#KnowledgeBit: The #Grandfather #Paradox states that if one were to travel back in time and kill their grandfather before their parent's conception, they would cease to exist, thus preventing their own time travel.

It highlights the logical inconsistencies that arise from the possibility of altering the past, creating a paradox where the action both occurs and cannot occur.

"How you manage your disappointments defines whether you just heal, or whether you evolve!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

Skiing has defined a large part of who I am and what I do.

And I've certainly documented my history with the sport here!

For over 25 years, the slopes have been my winter sanctuary. I’m usually the first one at the chairlift, chasing that perfect morning run and the "exuberance of the carve." It’s more than just a hobby; it’s a rhythm that connects me with friends and family, acting as the backdrop for some of my best memories.

The sport has even found its way into my professional life as a futurist. I’ve often written about the "Powder Principle." It's a story about a young engineer who turned down a high-paying job because it would mess with his skiing time, which became a great way to explain shifting generational values. I’ve also explored the link between high performance and business speed, drawing lessons from sharing the slopes with Olympian Larisa Yurkiw. Then there are numerous trends and innovation pieces I have written about the sport as a way of explaining the future and opportunity.

Skiing has always been a perfect metaphor for agility and looking ahead!
Of course, this past season didn't go as planned. As many of you know, a fall on the ice left me with a spinal injury that sidelined me for the entire winter. It was a tough break - literally- but I’m making this my final word on the matter.

Yesterday, during an early morning walk, I went over to the chairlift where I would usually start my day, at the sport where I would claim 'first chair.' It was tough to be there, but it was kind of a cathartic moment, and a big learning opportunity for me!

It reminded me that dwelling on the "what ifs" doesn't help anyone, and
frankly, I’m ready to move past the injury narrative and focus entirely on the recovery. 

That brings me back to the idea of evolving. Instead of being bitter about the lost season, I’ve shifted my focus to what’s next. I’m trading the ski boots for golf clubs as I prepare for a tee time at St. Andrews in just 48 days, and I'm finding joy in new roles, like being a grandfather to Mason.

Managing disappointment isn't just about healing the damage; it's about pivoting to new opportunities with a positive mindset!

----

Futurist Jim Carroll will start 'rotation' exercises in just a few weeks to start his rehab process for golf!

It Became Known Where Putin Was Really Almost Two Months After The War Started

"Such a rare appearance of Putin among outsiders has stirred up a new wave of conspiracy theories that he is actually hiding somewhere in a secret bunker," Radio Liberty wrote, noting that the dictator "has been labeled 'bunker grandfather' on social media and in Ukrainian journalism."

Putin is a cowardly old man who clings to his life and power.
To this end, he sacrifices thousands of his citizens, who do not even resist but go to war for this war criminal to die.

An "information document" - accusation filed by a prosecutor - has texts betw alleged assassin & his lover, a male transitioning to female. One text, answering "Why did you do it?" says "I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can't be negotiated out."
Also: "I am still ok, my love... I had hoped to keep this secret till I died of old age. I am sorry to involve you."

"Architect what isn't: Don't ask 'Why?', ask 'Why not?' and build it!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

Today's image is courtesy of Ideogram.AI. Things are moving so fast with online image generation; the possibilities are staggering, and the realities terrifying.

In any event, let's think about innovation a bit more today. I've often found that people tend to place the "Why" barrier in the way when confronted by big opportunities or big ideas. "Why would we want to do that?" "Why would we take the risk?" "Why would we change what we are doing?"

"Why" is one of the biggest barriers there is. "Why?" defends the present.

"Why not?", on the other hand, builds the future. Take apart the phrase, "Architect what isn't: Don't ask 'Why?', ask 'Why not?' and build it!" It’s there to challenge your assumptions, get you to embrace possibility, and, most importantly, dare to build.

With all that in mind, it got me thinking - maybe too many organizations have too many people who spend their time asking "Why?" and not enough who ask "Why not?". So I used Gamma to work with me and help me build a slide deck of the key strategic leadership roles that would help an organization 'architect what isn't. ' You can grab the PDF here.
