life notes; flaws and all

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.

As New Moon Can
Posted on July 10, 2021 by j.g.lewisLeave a comment

         The night
accepts the silence,
      appreciates
      the soft, steady breath
          of lovers
          and dogs.

         New Moon
shows as no moon can.
     High resolution
     darkness softening
         hard edges
       and difficult lives.

      Here we are,
part of the silence,
   immune to
   time and temperature,
       and words
       once spoken.

go the distance

The road ahead is of your own choosing.
You know the direction.
You know you have the motivation, the
strength and style to go the distance,
even though you are still so unsure of
the next destination.
Keep moving forward.

Do What You Want To Do
Posted on July 8, 2021 by j.g.lewisLeave a comment

You might not have what it takes, or you may be overqualified, but it should not take away your desire to try and do what you want to do.
You may not get the results you intended, or you could be pleasantly surprised at what happens.
Either way, you will learn more by trying than by regretting that you didn’t make an attempt.
Go ahead.
Give it a try.
What else will you do with all that time?
