a daily breath...

A thought du jour, my daily breath includes collected and conceived observations, questions of life, fortune cookie philosophies, reminders, messages of peace and simplicity, unsolicited advice, inspirations, quotes and words that got me thinking. They may get you thinking too . . .

Which way are you going?
What route will you follow?
Where will it take you?

Mondays are just young Fridays

The clock and the calendar move
forward incrementally, naturally
(as it should be) from a darker
winter we can’t leave behind to
something resembling spring.
In-between our seasons we take
whatever we can, where we are.
We have little choice.
A less-than-enthusiastic forecast
glares at me from a mobile device,
with greater chance of soakers
more than once or twice in the
week ahead as atmospheric rivers
come down to earth (a convenient
excuse for all it’s worth).
April showers still to come, as it
happens, as it is always done, we
keep moving forward step-by-step
mainly in spite of the weather.

of interest

your knowledge is
your currency

save up for what
you need or desire

there is interest
in your wisdom

I'm like a pencil;
sometimes sharp,
most days
well-rounded,
other times
dull or
occasionally
broken.
Still I write.

 In just a few days of warmth
and sunshine, trees abandon
              their winter persona
and greet us
with new growth
                               and colour.
As our surroundings change
so too does our attitude.
Spring has arrived. Life’s cycle
continues, and
                      trees remind us
 amazing things can happen
                   in just a few days.

                           Inspirational.
It makes you wonder what
you can do
in only a few days.
                     What difference
can you bring to this world?
How can you brighten
      your surroundings
                 and the lives
  of those around you?
                 Breathe in, exhale:
         lift your face to the sun
    and show us your colours.

                                                  j.g.l.
