” The saving of our world from pending doom will come… through the creative maladjustment of a nonconforming minority. “

Art of Quotation

“This hour in history needs a dedicated circle of transformed nonconformists.

Our planet teeters on the brink of annihilation; dangerous passions of pride, hatred, and selfishness are enthroned in our lives; and men do reverence before false gods of nationalism and materialism.

The saving of our world from pending doom will come,

not through the complacent adjustment of the conforming majority, but

through the creative maladjustment of a nonconforming minority.”

She And I ~ A Poem By Walt Page, The Tennessee Poet

Walt's Writings

She and I have a special love
A love that we’ve shared before
When we met, we both felt strongly
That we had loved each other before
It was more than just a feeling
It was a knowing
An irrefutable truth
She and I were
She and I are
She and I will always be

Is it Time…

Is it True…

Do you know what to Do…

Lets Just do It

Be True to Yourself

✅🌸✅🌸✅🌸✅🌸✅🌸✅🌸✅

Listen… this is the Time

Are you holding Back

Playing Give and Take

Do you know what you want

Do you know your Heart Desire

What’s your Passion

Is it Flashing…

Changing each time, someone’s Passing

Are you tossed here and There

Making yourself Dizzy

Beware…

🌸✅🌸✅🌸✅🌸✅🌸✅🌸✅🌸

Step Out

Launch Out

You were Born for this Moment

Walk in your Destiny

Get Out There

You are not alone

Just Blossom
