I was recently involved in an exercise to introduce myself to a room of people by allowing myself to be seen in a vulnerable way and crafting a poem about who I am. I’m sharing this here, now, with you.
I am Chris Frolic.
I am audacious and goofy.
I wonder how deep can I go within myself?
I hear the theme song from Super Mario Bros.
I see my wife’s face lying in bed looking at me.
I want to tell my story on the biggest of stages.
I fear complacency.
I create awe in myself and others.
I am Chris Frolic.
I pretend I can have the impact I want to make in the world.
I understand I love myself.
I say I’m ok with ceasing to exist when my body is done.
I dream of a Star Trek future for humanity. Of peace & harmony.
I try to help others in small ways every day.
I hope I can see the impact I’ve made.
I wish that my kids will be happy.
I bless that others will learn to communicate in healthy ways.
I love seeing people step into their courage.
I am Chris Frolic.
