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 True Undertaking
Posted on October 22, 2017 by j.g.lewisLeave a comment

Aren’t we always negotiating over something?
  Daily, with others, with the universe, with our Gods or ourselves, we are always trying to get the best deal, improved situations or circumstance, something better than what we have now.
We deal in privacy, and trust, negotiations over time, space, or price; our morals and beliefs are often tested or exploited. Giving an inch, taking our time, we continue trying to get past, or through, conditions or clauses, spelled out or implied.
  We try to keep our feelings out of the art of the deal, but many times it is all about emotional consideration. Consolidation is a goal.
  We give. We take. The results do not always show the true undertaking.
  Is it a commitment, or a contract?

Sometimes
goals and plans
are too big
to fit into
our current
reality.

It’s not about size,
it is about spirit.

Being yourself is one of
life’s most difficult tasks.
You are the only one
who can do it.
Find the courage
to be yourself,
exactly the way you are.
