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.

Can You Dig It?
Posted on October 13, 2019 by j.g.lewisLeave a comment

What do you simply love to do? What are you totally passionate about?
What has captured your imagination?
Is there a craft, hobby, pastime, or art that you can’t seem to do without? Then do it. Do it as often as you can, and do it with all your thought, concentration and talent.
Do it with all your being, and be inspired. Be rewarded by your efforts.
Remember, it’s what you like to do.
Dig it.
Do it.

Those Mundane Miracles
Posted on October 12, 2019 by j.g.lewisLeave a comment

I can’t tell (or don’t know) if I’ll be up before dawn or if I will lay awake tonight, or any night.
I’m attracted to things going on in our skies. Perhaps insomnia has a purpose.
The night offers perspective.
The stars, the clouds, the Moon, and all those mundane and misplaced miracles (like stardust, space junk, timid teenage dreams and erotic fantasy) show us how small we actually are. It is proportionate to our perspective.
I believe our desire to see the reality of the sky keeps our childlike curiosity alive.
I think we need things that shock and awe to maintain our sense of wonder. Like full moons, and like tonight.
The Moon is not simply reflected light.

Pay More Attention

We don’t always remember
what we need to. Memories.
Pay more attention to
what happens, as it happens.
It will be easier to remember
when you want to. Memory.
