New Divide - A song about division

Lyrics:

I remembered black skies

The lightning all around me

I remembered each flash

As time began to blur

Like a startling sign

That fate had finally found me

And your voice was all I heard

That I get what I deserve

So give me reason

To prove me wrong

To wash this memory clean

Let the floods cross

The distance in your eyes

Give me reason

To fill this hole

Connect this space between

Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies

Across this new divide

There was nothing in sight

But memories left abandoned

There was nowhere to hide

The ashes fell like snow

And the ground caved in

Between where we were standing

And your voice was all I heard

That I get what I deserve

So give me reason

To prove me wrong

To wash this memory clean

Let the floods cross

The distance in your eyes

Across this new divide

In every loss in every lie

In every truth that you deny

And each regret and each goodbye

Was a mistake too great to hide

And your voice was all I heard

That I get what I deserve

So give me reason

To prove me wrong

To wash this memory clean

Let the floods cross

The distance in your eyes

Give me reason

To fill this hole

Connect this space between

Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies

Across this new divide

The Golden Reflection

A while back, I wrote a reflection note with my own words called FIRST , now it is just 16 days to go, I am ready to reflect the final wind-down. AI gave me some reflection questions to ponder on and I find it helpful and healthy to go through the motion. Below is the advise from AI of what I should do with the remaining days in office. As you reflect, return to your own FIRST : Finishing Well: What genuinely needs my attention before I leave? What can I confidently entrust to someone else? Innovating Myself: Which parts of my identity do I want to develop beyond my official role? Refirement: Which contributions would I choose freely, once they are no longer duties? Strengthening My Health: What would a good first month of retirement look like for my body, my rest and my family? Tributes: Who should hear my thanks directly, while I still have the opportunity to say it? Also set aside one quiet hour for yourself: walk through the office, take a few photographs with permission...

Pre-Retirement Thoughts

As I draw closer to my 60th birthday, I do not feel old; I feel seasoned, with a wealth of experience gathered over the years. I am not wealthy, but I have enough to enjoy a comfortable life with my family. I hope I can still help the next generation build a stronger financial foundation — perhaps in small ways, but enough to give them a little push forward. Turning back to myself, I need to listen more closely to my body. It has served me faithfully all these years, yet I have not always given it the care it deserves. My biggest regret is reaching 60 with a tired body that now needs attention, rest and repair. As I prepare for retirement, I want to care for the body that has carried me this far, and give myself the time and space to live well. What are the FIRIST things come to my mind when I entering retiring age ? FIRST — My Thoughts on Retirement F for Finishing Well First thing first, finishing well is my key motto. I want to complete this chapter with care, purpose and inte...
