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.

a friendly voice

Sometimes hello is all
you need to know. Or hear.
On a day like today after a night
you would like to forget, a friendly
voice, even from a stranger, defies
what you have come to expect at
this time of day.

we seek shelter
Posted on July 27, 2022 by j.g.lewisLeave a comment

                  uncertainty comes with change
                  in the weather

                     whether you know it
                                   or not

            the coming rain
            impending pain
             all part of this life as we feel it
                               as we see it

                   as we believe it to be

                         we seek shelter
                      relief from the constant heat and humidity
                         of our days

                exorbitant excess
                we feel only regret

                                  an imbalance

                                                         if we have time
                                                       we seek comfort
                                                   if only in our mind

                 it is only uncertainty
                 all in all a probability

                   if we can live with that
        we can curb our expectations
                        whether we know it
                                   or not

Negotiation
Posted on July 26, 2022 by j.g.lewisLeave a comment

You truly learn about your behaviours once they are altered.
   You think more abut your behaviours as you alter them.
   Mindset, for a period, is a negotiation. Negotiation is a behaviour.
   Once you cease negotiating, you are better able to feel how your behaviours impact everything around you.
   Be gentle with yourself as you struggle to find your place.
