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

What are a few days between seasons? As if a shadow could tell of the time and temperature range from hour to day, today or tomorrow, or last season.
   Summer to fall. Now is not a fixed period, as was yesterday or last week. Those periods of time are fluid, ever changing, but still somewhat definite in our minds for the time being representing the periods or eras of our presence here on earth.
   How we measure our time, any time, always includes a proviso. The conditions we set will influence what is to come, as much as what has happened.
   How can you explain yourself when a short-term view overrides the obvious long-term accumulation of thought and experience.
   This time is yours; how you chose to share it will differ from day to day.

You wander.
We all do.

Uncertainty can often
blur your surroundings.

Unclear.

The map is always there,
the lines signify the path
you need to follow.

You simply have to find
the direction.

It is all in your hands.

               Anguish or confusion, 
        sometimes it is the way. 
      Anxiety takes over. 
        What else can you say  
     as you try to put aside all 
     the feelings that dog you 
   anyway.    No pain today.  
           Try as you might to
    see your way through. 
       No pain.    Not today.

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

It shall be poetry
that captures where
I am
and allows my mind
to go where
I need to be.
Away from false news,
false hope, and
questionable judgement,
I find solace from the
context of confusion
cluttering
the atmosphere and
taking away
all that is important.

Even Today

We wait for something to happen,
someday.
We plan, unconsciously, of things
to come or things to see, perhaps
not even specifically, but eventually.
Someday.
Some day, some week, some time
in which we hope or speak, the
someday when it will be just as we
imagined. Or better.
Someday.
It’s not today, I don’t know why it
can’t be arranged, so we don’t try, but
someday
soon we know we will, and that
illusive day will be such a thrill.
We know it, so we wait for
someday.
Every day
                  is a potential someday.
Even today. Can’t today be the
someday
you choose to make it happen, to
take the ride, or is this another day
you will simply let it slide.
Someday
is certain, now and then. You know it
will come, but you don’t know when.
