“Time” by Rick McCawley. From the /imagine Podcast series!

“Time” by Rick McCawley. Time, oh time, I knew you well, A passing, fleeting thought that's gone, farewell. Time, oh time, you are so precious, In the smile of a baby, the touch of a face, the warm embrace of a lover. Over time, I spend you foolishly, But I also embrace you with all my heart. I wait for the next time I can feel that feeling that fills us all. Time is so finite, so final, so ending. I forgot the beginning, and I dread the end. But I will spend you wisely on art and love and music, And on filling my soul. I will spend you on other people's pleasure and fantasy, And on pursuing my magic, my bliss, my goals. I will spend you wisely, in pacing, enjoying, and lingering. But perhaps the thing I like the most is to spend you on art, That fills my soul. I gather up my humanity, my life, my treasure, my loves, my experiences, And I put them in my works of art. So, time, when I grab a camera and capture those fleeting moments as they pass us by, When I prompt and craft an image into existence from the AI, What am I doing? I am summing it up. I am summing up my existence. I am crying, I am laughing, I am smiling, And I am making others realize that in the small, tiniest, insignificant moments of time, I can find beauty, my heart and soul, my humanity. I could share my thoughts, I could extend my time, I could become immortal. But in having experiences that all add up, I spend you with thought and craft and care, To do you justice in expressing, I set you still. Art is the wisest spending of time I can imagine. It is to remember myself, remember my life, my children, Remember why we exist, in joyfully dancing, Without wasting away any time. So now I sit here and ponder alone, my times, my times to come, And I wait for the moments to share with another, The time I have left, until we don't. Thank you, time, you precious gift. I can start and stop with a camera click. Thank you, time, for waiting patiently for me to find the meaning in all of this. Thank you, time. I hope you always exist in precious moments, in love, in the moments with others, In memory and legacy, as I pass this torch on to all the others. Thank you, time, time and time again.

Learn Adapt and Innovate: The life lessons from Rick McCawley's Career in Navigating Revolutionary changes in how we Work and Live. Artificial intelligence Revolution, and How to Survive and Thrive!! In this 9 minute video I talk about my Life work starting with the University of Florida, working as a Photojournalist for the Miami Herald, Covering riots, Mariel Boat Lift, two Popes four Presidents, Dolphins Football, and the Re discovery of the Atocha Spanish treasure by Mel Fischer, Also Being a Part of the Public Service Pulitzer staff award for Coverage of Hurricane Andrew. Unprecedented changes I was a part of included the invention of desktop publishing with Macintosh (I paginated the Miami Heralds front page which cost 100's of jobs replacing Paginators with Computer designers), Film was replaced by digital cameras, beepers, paper maps, and pay phones replaced by the internet, cell phones, video capture and the internet ultimately leading to the demise of Print Journalism and the loss of countless jobs and an entire industry only 20% of it's size and the people and properties exchanged for virtual offices and online content. I survived by adapting and becoming a Desktop Publishing Consultant, and later a curriculum developer for Barry University,International Fine Arts College, The Art Institute, and eventually created the Graphic Design two year program At Broward College, as Program Manager for 20 years, I've revised the entire program from primarily Print Graphic Design, to Web Design, and Now to User Experience Design, Social Media Management, Branding and Digital Photography. Now Ai is about to change all of this all at once in a fundamental way with far greater impact and opportunity than even the internet, or cell phones, could have prepared us for.
