“Bear” by Tim Hawkinson ~ 2005 On display at UC San Diego
How it came about: While attending a course aimed at creating a high performance workforce by changing the culture, instructor, Larry Liberty, Phd, had us create poetry or prose as an example of demonstrating vulnerability. The majority of us had not written neither poetry nor prose for several years, ie days of college or before, and found it quite challenging. However, many of us found the exercises made us dig deep into our inner selves and what came out was quite surprising to ourselves and others in our “Waves.” The following pages contain some of those poems and prose. I hope you find the enjoyable and or inspirational. Marty
