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 clock and the calendar move
forward incrementally, naturally
(as it should be) from a darker
winter we can’t leave behind to
something resembling spring.
In-between our seasons we take
whatever we can, where we are.
We have little choice.
A less-than-enthusiastic forecast
glares at me from a mobile device,
with greater chance of soakers
more than once or twice in the
week ahead as atmospheric rivers
come down to earth (a convenient
excuse for all it’s worth).
April showers still to come, as it
happens, as it is always done, we
keep moving forward step-by-step
mainly in spite of the weather.

your knowledge is
your currency

save up for what
you need or desire

there is interest
in your wisdom

Something Meaningful
Posted on March 25, 2023 by j.g.lewisLeave a comment

I am not one for prayer.
I am not sure about hope, several past decisions, or
the trajectory of my path, but
I am fairly confident
we shared something meaningful once.
That may be enough
to pull me through this day,
to help me remember
we can all get through anything
when friendship offers what it does, as it is meant to.
It is greater than a prayer.
It is the basis for hope.
