Days, weeks, then months
and years drift by.
Not always noticeable, or even
memorable, the time behind us
simply accumulates. All in all,
the sum of its parts leads to
a life well-lived, if you take
a moment to notice.

Mondays are just young Fridays
It’s not about height
or breadth, or depth.
It is all about perspective.
What limits you?
How far can you see?
To what end do you
appreciate what is in front of you?
Looking back is hindsight
and you have already been there.
Change your point of view.
Look up.
Don’t overlook opportunities.
What are your limits?

Secrets are rarely as heavy as
the weight we assign to them.
The gravity of circumspect
plays out, time and again. It is
what we carry as we decide
what crosses, or is held within,
our moral divide.
Sit with it for a while, moved
only when memory comes into
play; last night, or the other, or
any other day.

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

We Are Human

Open book.
Open mind.
Open heart.
A commitment, mainly to
my self, to fill the pages with
with meaning.
Self-indulgent, perhaps, but
necessary to the process of
healing and understanding
humanity (both my own and
that of others).
Human is what we are; all of us.
We are.
Believe.
Each of us is trying to make
sense of our senses. What we
hear, see, and touch, makes an
impact on how we interpret all
that surrounds us. The scent of
confusion, the taste of remorse,
whets an appetite for deeper
knowledge.
Hidden wisdom is available for
those who search. Believe.
We need to go deeper into the
crevasses of our flesh, sort
through vital organs and
memories for answers and
acknowledgements that have,
so far, eluded a curious soul.
We may find something
meaningful in moments and
messages that seemed so
meaningless before; we may
not. Yet, by exploring previous
perceptions, we give ourselves
another chance at health and
inner peace.
We are human. We are here. We
are capable of a greater capacity.
Open the book, open the mind,
open the heart and explore.
With commitment, you will find
what you are looking for.
Believe.
