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 . . .

Which way are you going?
What route will you follow?
Where will it take you?

Mondays are just young Fridays

The clock and the calendar move
forward incrementally, naturally
(as it should be) from a darker
winter we can’t leave behind to
something resembling spring.
In-between our seasons we take
whatever we can, where we are.
We have little choice.
A less-than-enthusiastic forecast
glares at me from a mobile device,
with greater chance of soakers
more than once or twice in the
week ahead as atmospheric rivers
come down to earth (a convenient
excuse for all it’s worth).
April showers still to come, as it
happens, as it is always done, we
keep moving forward step-by-step
mainly in spite of the weather.

of interest

your knowledge is
your currency

save up for what
you need or desire

there is interest
in your wisdom

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

I often question whether the darkness heals more than it hurts, or if night provides enough rest for the weary.
   Lately, I am tired.
   I believe we are all a little run-down right now. The past couple of years have been draining, wearing the psyche right to the soul. Society is hurting. We all feel it.
   It seems we have lived a period of prolonged darkness in which the shadow will live with us for quite some time.
   We can’t ignore what has happened, or what is happening, but at some point we will have to look past whatever is going on personally if we want to get ahead.
   We must emerge from the difficulties and despair of the past and find hope for the future.
   Spring is a time of renewal
   Step forward into the light.
