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 . . .

Mondays are just young Fridays

What happens when you step away 

from the everyday, for a while 

(or longer)?

A new locale, an unfamiliar bed, an 

alternative view overhead 

there is always another way instead;

at least there will be this week.

Even a wristwatch looks different today 

for deadlines have no purpose or place 

this week. 

A well-deserved break, to say the least.

What of today, tomorrow

or next week?

   What about the weary,

the impoverished, and the meek?

   What becomes the answer or

the validation that you seek?

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

Another Perspective

Posted on January 31, 2020 by j.g.lewis Leave a comment

Possibilities are not endless,
probabilities are even lesser
or unlikely. Chances remain
few and far between. Your
perspective is all that matters;
in fact, all you really have.
Perspective is a wholly useful
word, possibly a word we all
need to employ with greater
perspective. It is a word of
understanding, or trying to
understand, others and even
(or especially) yourself.
We all need a greater view of
what is happening around us;
no matter how far we look.
I know I, even on a morning
with no stars, need greater
perspective on where I am
and where I am going, or
what I am doing.
What am I doing?
I need to look at myself and
my purpose from all angles
to better understand what I
can do. I need to look at all
the possibilities available to
me, even those I can’t see
when it gets too dark, and too
cold, and mainly improbable.
