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.

hearsay

This day, like
those other days
will suffer a continual stream
of misplaced knowledge
and disinformation.
What we hear, what they say,
hearsay, anyway you look at it.
It comes in layers; rumours,
falsities, deceit or abject
ignorance (occasionally)
and still we try to listen
for the truth.

Interruption
Posted on February 15, 2023 by j.g.lewisLeave a comment

There are those days when you can’t do what you intend to do; when you can’t do the things you regularly do with the consistency you usually do them.
   It is an interruption to both your will and your way.
   There are too many things interfering, or clouding your intention (or your judgment). You are unable to do what you feel obligated to do.
   You end up struggling through whatever you are doing. Even your expectations become unclear, and all you are looking for is clarity.
   When you can’t do what you normally do, you simply do what you can.
   This is one of those days.
   Sadly, there have been a few too many of those days lately.
