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.

joy of spring
Posted on May 9, 2023 by j.g.lewisLeave a comment

Through the winter and all
those weeks waiting and
anticipating that which will
bring the joy of spring for
such a scant moment and we
want to rush time as we do
nothing but hope for it all to
arrive with the progress so
slow and the results so spare
for days and days we crave
sunlight and heat or tolerate
April showers for the sake of
May flowers as if the month
will make a difference to our
lives and then the days you
realize indeed it does and now
you only want to slow it all
down for more than a little
while and enjoy the blessings
eager tulips bring a mad world

Mondays are just young Fridays

Forever, we need to be aware that there is always more than one source of light.
   We need to be cognizant of our environment as, it changes daily, we shift between the light and the dark.
   It is not always bright.
   Often we are fooled by its presence, or regret that light we didn’t take advantage of. All too often we become captivated by something shiny off in another direction and it takes time for us to realize it was only a distraction.
   We can be blinded by a light instead of guided by the light.
   There is more than one light; which will you choose today?

our direction
Posted on May 7, 2023 by j.g.lewisLeave a comment

We are not always aware of the motion of everyday life, possibly because we are illusively caught up in the ebb and flow, as we strive to keep moving forward.
   There are always so many forces at play — both external and internal — and it truly is a balancing act.
   We may deviate from the path but it should never alter our direction.
