life notes; flaws and all

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.

A step up.
A step ahead.
Every single one of us
is trying, in some way,
to get where we need
to be.
Some of us are waiting.
Some of us are waiting
a little longer.
All
for all.
And
all
for allowing
the differences we see,
and those we do not.
Diversity. Acceptance.
Individuality;
differences we need
to be true.
Each of us.
Me
and you.
Nothing is singular,
Nothing is sacred.
Honesty
allows opportunity
to see, to believe
in the freedom to be
you.
And me.
Individually.
A step up.
A step ahead.
Keep
moving.

Evermore
Posted on May 12, 2019 by j.g.lewis // 2 Comments

A love without compromise;
boundless, inerasable, evermore.
Acceptance; always. All ways.
Forgiveness: like prayers never could.
Perhaps never appreciated enough,
still, a mother knows. I believe
in a mother’s love, a love that grows
even in absence. Evermore.
I lost my Mother long ago, far too early,
by all accounts. I remember her smile.
I remember her voice, as if
it were yesterday, words of wisdom.
A spirit, now, that transcends place
and time. It was the purest love.
I remember, especially today.
Happy Mother’s Day.

Find A Moment

nothing complicated
not today
find a moment
enjoy the day
the week has been hard
(they often are)
give yourself a reason
to do whatever you want
and it could be
as little as nothing
