She Flies

This is a poem I wrote while visualizing my daughter preparing to “fly” while cheerleading:


Facing the sun,


She climbs into waiting hands.


Counting, rehearsing, visualizing, she’s ready.


Quickly accelerating, bending, stretching, twisting, she flies.


Rolling, falling, waiting, she is caught.


Looking up, she hears the cheers,


She’s number one!

What Next?

 It's time. It's time to do something completely different. Starting in November, I will be retired from Cree/Wolfspeed where I have worked for over 27 years. I feel it is time to move on. With that said, I'd like to do something. Something other than software or database development. I'm not really sure what form it will take, but I am open to suggestions. I know that I don't want to sit at a desk all day. I'd like to do something that helps others or the environment. It doesn't have to be related to photography, but could be. If you have any ideas, let me know. Cheers, Wade
