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.

What Is Your Truth?

“We all know that Art is not truth.
Art is a lie that makes us realize truth, 
at least the truth that is given us to
understand. The artist must know
the manner whereby to convince
others of the truthfulness of his lies.”
                                           – Pablo Picasso

As You Wander

Gather your thoughts,
be calm
through the day.
Find balance
and confidence
as you wander
your own way.
Be curious
and open-minded,
for the wonders
will never cease.
Let go
of all your worries,
and
pick up the peace.

This time,
           this morning,
     this impervious collection
                   of ideas, dreams, and
                   intentions held back.
        You have waited,
            you have wandered, but
                    now know where
           you need to go
                   if you can get past,
                   or overlook
         decisions made and
                  actions taken.
           Look beyond
               disappointment.
    Other voices have
     altered your path, but not
                                   your will.
         Where will you allow
         yourself to go
this time,
          this morning?
