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.

the lessons

What we learn from
the past, we take with us
to future days. Like today
will become our past
and the lessons will
continue. You count on
your memory. Remember
not to forget.

protect your self

one of those days
when the weather matches
your mood

when you need
to shield yourself
from all that comes down

you can’t stop it
but you can try
to protect your self

Walk On By
Posted on February 8, 2023 by j.g.lewisLeave a comment

What we leave behind, discard or forget, accumulates.
Each day and annually, an atmosphere we have created,
an environment that we do not pay enough attention to.
We walk on by. We will go our own way, individually
and collectively. It all adds up. We always seem to forget.
It is our nature, failing to see where this is leading or even
remembering what was there; before now, concerning
ourselves only with the present. We’ve had enough snow,
recently, to conceal the dirt and disorder covering this city.
Once gone, will we even see what we have been through?
