Don’t save your kindest words for someone until after they’re gone.
Don’t leave anything in the tank. If you’ve got a spark inside, bring it to life. Don’t save your greatest ideas for later — later is never guaranteed.
Don’t wait. Don’t squander a single second.

If you never had the opportunity to experience D Blair’s poetry in-person, here’s a few of my favorite performances by the National Poetry Slam Champion.
“Detroit, While I Was Away” at TEDxDetroit.
“Carl”, “Joe Jackson” and “Little Richard” from a performance at the The Cantab Lounge in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Even poets do covers. Blair sings Emily Dickinson’s “Farewell” acapella at The Detroit Institute of Arts.
