If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master; If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!
The poem, ‘If—’ by Rudyard Kipling awakens the positive feelings in a reader’s mind. While reading the lines, readers become enlightened concerning how to tackle the odds of life. Not only that, but also they start to realize what success means. It is not about winning a battle. Rather it’s about how one fights in the war and stands courageously until the end.
Janine-
Thanks for your insights. They’re reassuring and on point.
Most who see my videos say, “Nice but what is it about?” Or they may say nothing for fear they will appear stupid. Art never has one meaning. It is interpreted by the viewer. Some people don’t think in metaphors. So of course they assume it is some kind of intimidating code. They try too hard.
And maybe it is code. Poetry is symbolic or hidden meaning often. Does that make it better poetry? Not really. But ferreting out the meaning from a poem or a montage is like interpreting dreams.
There are times when some people tell me what they see or feel from a video montage and I think, “How insightful? I just learned something from them.” or “They get it.”
You get it.

Hourglass Revisited There’s so much truth in this video. I agree with this statement: “The black widow symbolizes female loneliness.” And I would add she represents a woman’s fear of powerlessness and her belief that she must be more male to be empowered and escape victimhood. I think it’s getting better for boys and girls. MAYBE (I guess it depends on the day or circumstance). But it’s still nowhere good enough.
You definitely get it.
I believe — but am no scientist or expert — that there is a inner part of men that is fragile and vulnerable. These are their female characteristics. Many men hate weakness. Not only in others but in themselves. They refuse to see their tenderness and sensitivity. They bury it or ignore it or deny it. They even want to kill it. If they can they will project it on someone they perceive as weaker and call them dirty and unworthy and try eradicating them with gas chambers and genocide.
A weird thing is happening, media and movies and sport events want women to be tough like men. Even look like men. Spit and snort like animals. Not even men — animals. And women think they need to be equal in strength or better than men. They may think this is the only way they can survive in this world.
I once read an article in Fortune 500 magazine, they were studying women who served as CEO’s in Fortune 500 companies. All these women said their secret weapon to rise to power was their femininity. Not their sexuality. Sleeping their way to the top doesn’t earn the respect of men. Instead men despise those women. (Long story on why another day).
So how did femininity help them. By not trying to act or dress or talk like men or sex symbols, these women stood out. They were then recognized as intelligent and different. Their difference was the distinguishing factor. They wore colorful dresses. Not sexy dresses. Feminine. In a room full of suits, they were different.
Differentiation is a prime marketing tactic. They let men open doors for them. It was their contrast — not their sameness. They became respected for being strong and disciplined women. Their voices were heard.
Now is this every woman’s experience? I doubt it. But for a few, this strategy worked and it was the commonality of the female CEOs. These women earned millions as CEOs.
I never would guess that as a contributor to their power position.
So a lot of men and women are mistaken in their ideas of egalitarianism. Women would do better being women than try to act like men. It’s contrary to honesty. Wearing a tough male mask is recognized as fake.
Not Sons It’s interesting that you would share this now. I read this poem two weeks ago. And remember thinking that even women and girls have lost their way. So I think amid all the confusion of our modern times, the poem “If” is good advice for any human being. In this case, the word if is synonymous with hope.
Yes. The video is about hope and empowerment. There are ways to overcome or compensate for supposed weaknesses and be seen as a superhero.
For the women portrayed in the video, they all felt empowered when the got their prosthetics. Not ashamed, they decorated their artificial limbs. The accentuated them into symbols. Their difference became their trademark of overcoming the odds. They were showing that they wouldn’t give up. Not giving up is tenacity born from hope.
So I like how you reference the Warrior Daughter. I do have warrior daughters. They are sensitive souls. But watch out if you decide to cross their boundaries.
Over the course of my own life, I’ve tried with all my might not to allow my pain, my disappointments, and my fears to decide how I interact with others. You are a champion. Don’t stop.
Bottom line As always your content is thoughtful and thought-provoking. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for investing the time to watch and analyze them. I appreciate that. More than you might expect.
“And I don’t want the world to see me (introversion – solitude) ‘Cause I don’t think that they’d understand (strangeness – poet) When everything’s made to be broken (loneliness – abandonment) I just want you to know who I am (wishful – hopeful)”
Have you ever gone to a county fair –or a competition – where everyone was given the same prize — a blue ribbon. I have. It was no fun. Everyone felt cheated in the name of fairness. Being “chosen” isn’t about being fair. It’s about being favored. Like Joseph of Egypt — or John the Beloved. They deserved God’s recognition. You’re one of God’s beloved.
Empaths feels deeply other’s emotions. It’s part of having the gift of the discerning of spirits. But it isn’t the only way a person can have this gift. Another way is social awareness.
Some people hurt more for others. Those are the empaths. They suffer from Compassion Fatigue often. It’s something military chaplains suffer, too. We feel other people’s pain. It can be draining.
When I look into people’s hearts, I see their potential. For evil or good. This is a great blessing and a curse.
Sometimes when I “see” your heart and mind — and mention you are special, you get teary-eyed. I see great promise. It makes me smile. It makes me feel joy. It’s stunning. Is it the power of God? Or a kinship? I wonder if, at that moment, I remind you of someone you miss.
Your kind spirit always brighten my day. And I’m supposed to let you know, I’m acting as an angel and delivering this happy message. Be reassured you are God’s chosen. I don’t know God’s purpose. But perhaps for your future courage to keep going when times are tough.
I see you.
I see you.
Iris The Goo Goo Dolls
And I’d give up forever to touch you ‘Cause I know that you feel me somehow You’re the closest to heaven that I’ll ever be And I don’t wanna go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment And all I can breathe is your life And sooner or later, it’s over I just don’t wanna miss you tonight
And I don’t want the world to see me ‘Cause I don’t think that they’d understand When everything’s made to be broken I just want you to know who I am
And you can’t fight the tears that ain’t coming Or the moment of truth in your lies When everything feels like the movies Yeah, you bleed just to know you’re alive
And I don’t want the world to see me ‘Cause I don’t think that they’d understand When everything’s made to be broken I just want you to know who I am
And I don’t want the world to see me ‘Cause I don’t think that they’d understand When everything’s made to be broken I just want you to know who I am
And I don’t want the world to see me ‘Cause I don’t think that they’d understand When everything’s made to be broken I just want you to know who I am

“Beauty is to often just an illusion. A trick of the mind. The hunger is real, but the fruit is sometimes poison. Anyone who has really lived in this world knows this. Too often rejection is the result of fear. The realization of ones own frailty and the feeling of not being good enough. Cruelty is just an angry manifestation of that frustration which comes from knowing you are not worthy of another’s love. The reverse of that emotion is humility. Only from that point can true beauty begin to grow and blossom. Beauty is not something that can be seen by the human eye. It is an inward faithfulness. Being true to yourself. But the natural order of things is to seek dominance in a relationship out of the need for self protection. Test yourself to know that this is true. Would you tell all your secrets to another as would a small child, or do you hold back?
Can physical attractiveness and beauty co-exist within the same person?”
CREEP [clean version]
When you were here before Couldn’t look you in the eye You’re just like an angel Your skin makes me cry You float like a feather In a beautiful world I wish I was special You’re so very special

I don’t care if it hurts I wanna have control I want a perfect body I want a perfect soul I want you to notice When I’m not around You’re so very special I wish I was special
But I’m a creep I’m a weirdo What the hell am I doing here? I don’t belong here, oh, oh
She’s running out the door She’s running out She run, run, run, run Run
Whatever makes you happy Whatever you want You’re so very special I wish I was special
But I’m a creep I’m a weirdo What the hell am I doing here? I don’t belong here I don’t belong here
I had seen her once before in a cosmic moment, I can’t remember where.
No words were spoken, and now again,
our eyes were locked in a room full of people.
She kept looking, never moving her gaze.
Not for a second.
I knew I had to move.
The fates were providing me a chance that I would not- could not ignore.
My feet were moving before I could talk myself out of it.
I split the crowd like a surfer through waves and washed up on that dreamy shore.
Now we stood in front of one another, no words coming to either of us.
That cosmic feeling returned as if the stars aligned on that very spot.
I didn’t sweat or shift my weight, awkwardly trying to force words out.
I was in blissful silence.
The woman looked up at me, her soft dark features would have been expressionless.
But those eyes, those mysterious, deep eyes sparkled with wonder.
She held up a hand, still making eye contact.
I took it, her skin was warm and soft.
I opened my mouth to speak.
Then we were moving.
The woman guided me gently through the crowd.
Out of stone archways and into the still night air.
The stars fell like snow around us.
An enormous moon held up the sky, illuminating our features.
The woman turned to me once more, her straight nose, sharp cheekbones, and soft angelic lips took my breath in the moonlight.
I know you. She says quietly. Stars catching in her long eyelashes.
Her voice took away any chill from the night air.
You do. And I know you. I said hoarsely.
The stars were sticking in her hair and to her clothes.
I knew they must be on mine too.
Tell me my name. She whispered.
Daphne, like the flower.
And yours is Paris, She laid a hand on my cheek.
Your hair matches your eyes.
Blond?
Beautiful.
My heart smiled.
I had never been called handsome – or beautiful.
I felt recognized.
You know me. I said. And you already know your worth. But you are breathtaking.
She smiled revealing dimples.
I know you and you know my worth too.
I do. You are valued beyond riches and kingdoms, my heart bleeds for you.
Do you know your worth? Daphne asked.
Show me.
She stretched out her hand and caught the falling stars.
They fall for you. She said. They fall to kneel at your feet. You are a king.
The stars don’t fall for me. Daphne. I said in a small voice.
She walked me to the far side of the stone courtyard through crumbling archways.
She pointed to the sky.
The moonlight travels thousands of miles just to touch your face.
I’m just one in hundreds of people that the moonlight touches. I dismissed the thought.
Daphne sighed.
You are the only one I’m with tonight. Paris.
If the stars don’t fall for you, and the moon doesn’t shine for you. Then I am.
Can’t Take My Eyes Off You Frankie Valli
[Verse 1]
You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off of you
You’d be like Heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I’m alive
You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off you
[Verse 2]
Pardon the way that I stare
There’s nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that it’s real
You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off you
[Chorus]
I love you, baby, and if it’s quite alright
I need you, baby, to warm the lonely night
I love you, baby, trust in me when I say:
Oh, pretty baby, don’t bring me down, I pray
Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay
And let me love you, baby, let me love you
[Verse 3]
You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off you
You’d be like Heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I’m alive
You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off you
[Chorus]
I love you, baby, and if it’s quite alright
I need you, baby, to warm the lonely night
I love you, baby, trust in me when I say:
Oh, pretty baby, don’t bring me down, I pray
Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay
And let me love you, baby, let me love you
[Chorus]
I love you, baby, and if it’s quite alright
I need you, baby, to warm the lonely night
I love you, baby, trust in me when I say:
Oh, pretty baby, don’t bring me down, I pray
Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay
And let me love you, baby, let me love you
Knowledge Drop: Lauryn Hill Reportedly Recorded “Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You” While Lying On The Floor
She is running
A hundred miles an hour in the wrong direction
She is trying
But the canyon’s ever widening
In the depths of her cold heart
So she sets out on another misadventure just to find
She’s another two years older
And she’s three more steps behind
Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?
Or does anybody even know she’s going down today
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope that’s tucked away in you and me
Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?
She is yearning
For shelter and affection
That she never found at home
She is searching
For a hero to ride in
To ride in and save the day
And in walks her Prince Charming
And he knows just what to say
Momentary lapse of reason
And she gives herself away
Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?
Or does anybody even know she’s going down today
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope that’s tucked away in you and me
Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?
If judgement looms under every steeple
If lofty glances from lofty people
Can’t see past her scarlet letter
And we never even met her
Never even met her
(Never Even Met her)
Does anybody hear her? Does anybody see?
Or does anybody even know she’s going down today
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope that’s tucked away in you and me
Does anybody hear her? Does anybody see?
Does anybody even know she’s going down today
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope that’s tucked away in you and me
Does anybody hear her? Does anybody see?
He is running
A hundred miles an hour in the wrong direction
7:24 Minutes This poem is about fear of abandonment.
Male – he is a water driller (cowboy-type, reluctant hero). Feels slight insecure about his masculinity. Female – she is a confident trained military soldier. He is attracted to her. She feigns no attraction to him. Contempt. They are being evacuated from a cooked planet. It’s dying as it’s sucked into the closest star. The sabotaged last rocket explodes and crashes to the planet surface in a barren zone. The air is too hot and poisonous to breathe. They’re in spacesuits and communicate via radio.
Thought I’d share this conversation with Ed Jenkins who did the male voiceover for “Longday”:
Ed Jenkins Mar 19, 6:15 AM
Oh wow, that sounds amazing! Whoever you got to voice Kahira really puts me to shame.
Steve’s reply:
Female voiceover is Chloe Wigmore: Fiver talent because of Covid. I’ll be improving the visuals and some sound effects. So it will go through another iteration. And your voice is perfect for what we’re doing. Don’t compare. It will only bring you unhappiness and dissatisfaction. Of course, anxiety can be a great motivator.
Never use Chloe as your benchmark. Just look and see if you improved your own journey. When you see someone at the top of the ladder, you know they didn’t fall there.
The original 2017 short story “Last Planet from Planet Longday” is a 45-minute read. I took one scene as an excerpt – the one you just made. It was the scene with the most interesting dialog. It’s about 4 minutes. Visually boring.
But the script was lost. I had a transcript made. That took one day with Fiver talent in India. I built an MP3 as reference for pronunciation of fabricated names and places. The synthetic voices are Amazon Polly. That probably cost 15 cents.
“Last Rocket from Planet Longday” is a sci-fi conversation between a marooned man and woman. In reality, I think they’re two of my internal voices. Self-talk.
Longday was my first video attempt and so dismal my son Levi and brother Brad (both creatives) gave it a thumbs down. I didn’t do another video for an entire year. It was long and I used male and female synthetic voice for the voice track. I had no money for voice talent at the time.
I decided I’d adopt the mantra “Embrace Mediocrity.” And I started producing one “mediocre” video per week. This version of “Longday” is my 129th video.
Jade the poetess said: “I love the rocket video. The voiceovers are amazing.”
STORY
Male Speaker: Hi, Thomas wake up. Can you hear me?
Female Speaker: Oh, hey. What’s happening?
Male Speaker: We’ve crashed. Everyone’s dead. But you and I and two unlucky cargo robots. We survived. You hearing me?
Female Speaker: My communication’s fine. Where are we?
Male Speaker: No clue. Surface of Longday – but I couldn’t tell you where. What’s up with the red flashing light on your suit?
Female Speaker: I must have sat closest to the explosive.
Male Speaker: Radiation?
Female Speaker: Seems like it. We weren’t leaving this floating rock — not alive anyway. Sabotage.
Male Speaker: Four of my friends are dead. You and I may not make it. Who’d do something so – sinister – and why?
Female Speaker: No time to explain. They’re looking for wreckage – and any survivors.
Male Speaker: You mean whoever they are, will hunt us and kill us. Because there’s something we’re not supposed to know?
Female Speaker: You’re smarter than you look. I don’t know everything – yet. But anyone who knows the truth about this is gone.
Male Speaker: You mean gone –- as in – dead?
Female Speaker: I think so.
Male Speaker: What’s your role in this conspiracy?
Female Speaker: Remember that hole in my suit, no accident. I found out too much. As for your friends, I’m sorry.
Male Speaker: Sorry? You might have warned us. You suspected danger.
Female Speaker: I didn’t know they’d crash the rocket, but it makes sense now.
Male Speaker: Sister, I’m a low-class water driller, I’m no warrior.
Female Speaker: The only way getting off this planet is fight or die.
Male Speaker: Okay, I’ll think about it. But listen, you’re the first woman friend I’ve had for over three years. Can you at least tell me your first name so I don’t have to call you Thomas?
Female Speaker: Thomas bothers you?
Male Speaker: Well, sort of. Not a man’s name.
Female Speaker: Not a man’s name?
Male Speaker: I’d rather not think of you as male.
Female Speaker: Male, very well. My name’s Kahira – an Irish warrior name for strong women –- but not women friends. Get it? That’s why they call me Thomas.
Male Speaker: Kahira? Nice name. It’s unique.
Female Speaker: Fine. But knowing my name doesn’t make me your woman friend. I don’t care if it’s five years.
Male Speaker: Right, been three years. So what do you propose?

Male Speaker: Is it occupied?
Female Speaker: We’ll find out.
Male Speaker: Kahira?
Female Speaker: What?
Male Speaker: Practicing your name.
Female Speaker: You’re a desperate idiot.
Male Speaker: My bad. We can travel inside the robots while we sleep — but they’ll need planetary coordinates. You got anything? Here’s how you get inside these robots.
Female Speaker: I know that. I’ve had survival training.
Male Speaker: Okay. Once inside, recharge your suit through this cable.
Female Speaker: Right.
Male Speaker: Oh. You know that also. Do you know how to load the planetary coordinates to get us to this entrance?
Female Speaker: I’m no fool.
Male Speaker: Okay, fine. Show me you know this stuff by doing it right now — please. One last thing, here’s a flare gun. If we get separated, use it to identify your location. Sorry, doubting your abilities.
Female Speaker: You’re forgiven. We better get moving.
Male Speaker: How long do you estimate it’ll take?
Female Speaker: Hours most likely. I recommend getting some sleep.
Male Speaker: Can we talk?
Female Speaker: No, sleep.
Male Speaker: Kahira, your communication on? Kahira are you there? Hello, hello?
Hello?
