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 . . .

within

   Secrets are rarely as heavy as 

   the weight we assign to them.

       The gravity of circumspect

   plays out, time and again. It is 

   what we carry as we decide 

   what crosses, or is held within, 

   our moral divide.

       Sit with it for a while, moved 

   only when memory comes into 

   play; last night, or the other, or 

   any other day.

unbidden

When you are not ready to say 

all you need to say, you remain 

unable to feel all you are 

meant to feel.

Joy, relief, compassion, 

beliefs, unobtainable all in the

truest sense. Your solitude, like

a sin, stays locked inside.

Unbidden, personal inquisition 

only you can reply to, abiding 

precious time.

Mondays are just young Fridays

Treat others

as you would 

treat yourself.

Share when you can.

Kindness has no season, 

but is best served 

with appreciation.

Gratitude does not

need a reason, but 

the taste will last

a very long time.

Be thankful.

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

Perception

What we see
and how we feel
can’t be determined
by what
we know is real,
or realized
at certain times.
We cannot know
what is always
there, or decide
at once if we should
or shouldn’t care,
yet we must always
have the sense to try
to see the good
in ourselves and
in others. We are
both limited
and liberated
by perception.
