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.

_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.

                                                                                      j.g.l.

night falls
night flows
through cracked windows
swiftly down familiar halls
filling vacancy daylight provides
night knows best
where darkness hides
skin rises with its motion
minds alive with lost emotions
lightheaded still
immersed in thought
night knows when
night knows not

“Let’s not forget that the
little emotions are the
great captains of our lives
and we obey them
without even realizing it.”
                                  -Vincent van Gogh
