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 . . .

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

Longer days, shorter nights,
less time to reflect.
Summer Solstice.
                                  It’s happening.
Mistress Moon is weak, hardly
a whisper.
I no longer
hear her voice, or
                                 less and less
                                 she occupies
my mind.
Somehow it just happens.
My choice.
Less focus on her,
more focus on dreams and desires.
                                They can happen,
                                 they will happen,
without distraction.
Dedication, application, rejuvenation,
                                mentally,
                                spiritually,
                                physically;
that’s how it will happen.
You’ve come
too far,
given up
too much, to not
                                make it happen.
If you want
it to happen.
        Yes, your past may pester you,
        but it will not drag you down.
Remember
what made you feel good about yourself?
You can
                feel better
                be   better
if you want.
                              It can happen
                              if it’s meant to happen,
on your own terms.
                             Make it happen.

My heart leaps up when I behold
   A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
   Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man;
I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.
                                        – William Wordsworth
