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 . . .

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?

who would know

Dissemination of information

fast and furious. Daily, hourly,

minute by minute, it accounts

for our perception, rightly or

wrongly. 

   Who would know the truth?

   Who should know the truth?

   Ask me.

   If I am not a liar, then I am 

not a man.

   How will I know questions

from the answers? 

   It is not multiple choice, but

there are many versions of

what you need to know.

   If only you would ask.

Mondays are just young Fridays

What is it now that has you questioning the why and how?

   We can, and we should, question our thoughts or plans, even our direction. It is only natural to wonder if our path is moving the right way, or if we should be choosing some other route. 

   There is a lot to absorb along the way, there always was. Do we pay enough attention now, or did we ever? What have we ignored or looked over? 

   What didn’t we see?

   What needs to be revisited?

   We can’t always take it in stride.

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

It No Longer Matters

We barely have the time
to recognize where we are.
   This is not the time,
nor is it the place,
to disguise old intentions
as long-forgotten mistakes.
   How can you remember
what you were planning
when it no longer maters?
