Where you are is not where you will always be, physically, spiritually, emotionally and fundamentally.
Even your location will change, even if you stay in the same place (few of us do). Forward is not always a destination or direction, but rather a state of being.
Where will you go today?

It is often history that clouds our judgment, and even prevents us from seeing the true and right path we must take going forward.
The steps we have already made, even those unplanned, play a meaningful role in the direction we have chosen. But, they do not always have to chart the course of future progress.
Progress, yes, it is what we must do, even unknowingly.

The coldest morning of the winter
reminds you what is truly important:
– a warm parka
– garbage mitts
– a positive attitude
– good coffee
Spring is coming.
So is the weekend.

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

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