life notes; flaws and all

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.

Of Thought and Reason

It takes but a night of rain
to wash away weeks and months.
The remainder of the season,
days of thought and reason.
Please wait, she said.
Her colour had changed, more
than the blush on her cheeks.
I’m not ready.
It’s time, autumn replied, as much
warmth in his voice
as intention.
Will you be gentle?
Summer shone, still possessing
the familiar beauty that was her gift.
I will try, he said.
I have been waiting so long
for this moment.

day-to-day

Maybe we all need a few days rest?
Think about it; stepping away from the day-to-day patterns that control, even confine, our lives.
Missing time or misplaced time?

Be Yourself

         The day is going to be
what the day is going to be.
You can decide, now, to be
whatever you decide to be.
       Be yourself.
       Be enthusiastic.
       Be kind.
