Morning observations rarely register
as we wake and wander our way
through infant hours.
It takes a moment for
the mind to come alive while
the gravity of the day settles in.
We fail to notice little things,
considerably more substantial days ago,
perhaps once meaningful or spiritual,
now displaced as the second hand
of the wristwatch sweeps onward.
Afford yourself opportunity
to be distracted by butterflies, soon
a scent of lilacs, freesia, even the taste of
spring rain or requisite morning coffee.
In days so rent with common
occurrences, look beyond
what is there.

What Matters

What can you detach yourself from
to become more connected with
everything that matters?
Habits, vices, practices, words, and
material possessions all have a way
of shifting our attention from the
causes and concerns ultimately
more important to our being.
Ask yourself what matters.
What are the things in your life that
hold you back from strengthening
the relationships you have, or want
to have, even with your self?
