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.

An ordinary day, common
     thoughts stretch out into
   occasional magnificence.

       Moments are fleeting,
memories of which
    provide sustenance to
      your everyday life.

    We deserve as much
       as we allow ourselves.

     we can only wonder

how big is this planet
and how many

     steps

              we must take

this is a journey
as much as
an adventure

    each of us gets lost

all of us lose our way

     at times

if she didn’t know her direction
you could always leave a few

     breadcrumbs

should she follow the path
perhaps then you
          would share

your sandwich

          we could all use
               more picnics

a purpose

Uneasy overcast skies, grey
and gloomy. Those ugly sins
we commit, dust or detritus
of our everyday lives; even
dirty secrets bestowed upon
each other, are washed away.
Because of the rain, the grass
will grow, flowers will bloom
and umbrellas have a purpose.
