Today I want to share with you an unpublished poem...  meaning this poem is not included in our  2 poetry books  - it has, however, been published in e-magazines and poetry websites. It will also be included in the upcoming 3rd book of poetry in the Playing With Words series. This #poem, Virago, focuses on the epic journey of life - it is a compilation of my understanding of this journey, after a couple decades spent in study of gurus and shamans, thought leaders and specialists - the search for meaning, or purpose, in life... the journey to one's inner self, and beyond.

Everything is an enigma. I learned that memories are interpretations Based on stories I tell myself According to the na...

Basic contracts are very easy to do and are so important to the business. This paperwork can be used to prove business activities when it comes to the accountant, taxes and write-offs. Contracts are especially important if you are working with a partner - in this case you need to have a signed, written agreement as to who will take on specific responsibilities listing job duties and expectations clearly.  Contracts will also explain how the relationship, or the business, will be dissolved should the partnership go haywire. In this situation, the paperwork acts like a prenuptial agreement... protecting everyone involved.  Writers deal with contracts on a regular basis. If a free-lance writer sells an article, a contract is signed stipulating the duration of time that publication retains publishing rights (usually 3 months after publication) and it will detail both how and when the writer will be paid.  If the writer is donating to a fundraiser or offering their book as a d...

© Brummet Media Group "Strange is our situation here upon earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to divine a purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: that man is here for the sake of other men-above all for those upon whose smile and well-being our own happiness depends, and also for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy.  Many times a day I realize how much my own outer and inner life is built upon the labors of my fellow men, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received. My peace of mind is often troubled by the depressing sense that I have borrowed too heavily from the work of other men."  ~ Albert Einstein ~~~   Discover the Brummet's Books on Amazon :  https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B0845RLK1X  Find Them Online via :  https://taplink.cc/brummet...
