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 . . .

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

all my flaws

Who can you blame?
Are the feelings unjust when a decision is a matter of knowing you must find fault or favour with the ill winds of change?
It is never enough to simply rearrange plans or predicaments. It is like making a prediction of all my flaws with my faith as fractured or fragile as it is, or has been.
Far easier to see what I haven’t been doing.

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

_MG_3814 - Version 2

Ten reminders from
last night’s lunar eclipse.

– Gravity has a role to play, and
   each of us has a place in the
   universe, but there are times
   when things line up and, even
   despite distance, the results
   are astounding.

– Things take time, but if you are
   patient, you will see results.

– You have to look up, or you
   will miss a few miracles.

– There are 24 hours in a day.
   Some days are brighter than
   others, and sometimes clouds
   get in the way, but you still need
   to make the most out of every
   hour. Time is finite; though your
   enjoyment of time need not be.

– If you are going to stay up late,
   make it worthwhile.

– Entertainment and amusement
   is not always man made.

– Some times you just have to sit
   and allow time to pass. You
   cannot rush and, if you try not
   to, you will enjoy the moments.

– Don’t expect things to be what
   they are built up to be, accept
   them as they are and see the
   beauty that is there.

– A camera can capture the
   moment, but your mind
   holds the memory.

– Some things are worth waiting    for.
