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.

Change at a pace you
are comfortable with
or don’t change at all.

Deception
Posted on November 17, 2021 by j.g.lewisLeave a comment

We want to know what
we don’t know, or hadn’t thought of,
or forgot.

What mattered then,
or what mattered when, shifts over time.
We notice.

Perception is what you don’t see.
Deception is what know.
You see it differently through your aloneness.

The truth behind a lie,
you question how and why.
It made sense.

Anticipation keeps us waiting
for only so long. Will it matter
if you felt it never did?

Do you know?

What makes you think
you are acting responsibly?
Is it your attitude or your
ignorance that drives your
dialogue? Or is it empathy,
compassion, and an open
mind that allows you to see
through all the bullshit we
face daily? Are you helping
or healing? Do you know?
