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.

The cause and effect of anxiety,
only available in your dreams.
You doubt, yet you buy in,
as much as you believe. Negative
energy, disjointed word, speaks
as much as it wants to be heard.
No reaction, no real meaning,
nothing to say, a nightmare
is a night having a bad day.

Unremarkable

   Often, it could be a noise from the street slipping through the window, or the lights of a random car reflecting stray light across the ceiling. Each night she would lie awake recounting the day, recalling insignificant events from days or years earlier.
   It was quite unremarkable, she would say, nothing important, but enough to occupy her mind. Rarely would she remember falling asleep, and the alarm clock would remind her every morning that another night had passed.
   “I don’t dream,” she said, matter-of-factly. “Ever.”
   “How do you know?”
   “Because each day I wake up, and all I ever hope for is more sleep.”
