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

Let’s face it, there are days when
you feel like your notebook: torn,
dog-eared, coming apart at the
seams and a little rough around
the edges. Like you, the notebook
contains thoughts started and
then left hanging, poems not quite
there, or not ready to be shared,
words for someone else, mistakes
made, and reminders of who, why,
or what. It’s not completely filled,
there are ideas with potential,
blank spaces, and several pages
untouched, but you shouldn’t have
to read between the lines to see
where you are going. A notebook
won’t take you anywhere, it is not
who you are, but evidence of where
you have been. As you say goodbye
to another page, it’s time to greet
a brand new day and make a place
for fresh thoughts. Pick up a pencil,
fill each line, and make today
something worth writing about.

There will always be questions
and tensions and unresolved
resolutions. More people and
problems and offers
only you can know. The solutions
may not be readily at hand, yet
they can be found in the present.
Vulnerability is not a fault.
Testimony need not be
a sign of weakness.

Why comes later.
Why
did you start?
Why did you stop?
