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

Sadly, our voice
is not always
strong, or not always
there ,when it
is needed.
It is hard to know
what to say, or
how to say it,
so often we
remain silent.
Silence stops the
process of
communication,
but it does not
stop the thoughts.

A sign I’ve been glancing at, daily, since I noticed it a week back at a regular coffee stop where I try to begin my day with a dark roast cup of bravery.
I try to take the time, every morning, to scribble out my current considerations, deliberations, and contemplations on images and memories that have come to me in my dreams and in reality.
If your first meal of the day is the most important, shouldn’t your first thoughts be as well?
Take time to write them down. It’s important. What you are thinking affects how you continue to navigate your self through the coming hours or weeks.
“The bravest thing you can be is yourself.”
How much courage is required to make it through the remainder of the day? Is a single cup of coffee enough to provide the fortitude required to step further into the day?
It’s a good start.

Do you share information about your mood or medical state, or admit to others your flaws, feelings, morals, or mistakes?
Do you present yourself as you see your self or only as you believe yourself to be? Honestly?
Do you see the difference?
Do you believe everything you say, every day, or only on those days when you are feeling like yourself?
