Who can you blame?
Are the feelings unjust when a decision is a matter of knowing you must find fault or favour with the ill winds of change?
It is never enough to simply rearrange plans or predicaments. It is like making a prediction of all my flaws with my faith as fractured or fragile as it is, or has been.
Far easier to see what I haven’t been doing.

We tire of unpredictable weather, the damp morning chill, wet socks and lost mittens. Winter keeps reminding it is not through with us.
We have suffered long enough.
The streets are tired and dirty and the time change only makes things darker in the morning.
We need a brighter view.
We need, now, the renewal that comes with spring.

Progress comes less from planning than participation.
Dreams and wishes require action and attention.
Start moving.

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

It is never just a pencil.
It might be a magic wand,
something tangible to hang onto
as you leave your mark in this
world of digital communication.
A pencil is less than analog, but
so much more in its sensory
perception.
To some, it is an obsession.
A pencil is not just a pencil,
it is more than it appears to be.
It’s never just a pencil.
Today is National Pencil Day.
Take a moment to recognize the
importance of the humble pencil.
