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.

define yourself

How do you define yourself?

What do you call others?

She/he or they; how do you refer?

Pronoun or label, what do you prefer?

We are all human.

worth waking up
Posted on July 6, 2023 by j.g.lewisLeave a comment

There are instances when you have to wake up early to accomplish things you couldn’t do in the days before, take care of something not completed, or to find what you were looking for.
There are days it is worth waking up early.

Moonlight Denied
Posted on July 5, 2023 by j.g.lewisLeave a comment

Monday night I went out with my camera to capture the Moon in all of its glory, but returned home without the shot I was hoping for.
   I have been disappointed before.
   Sometimes it’s the clouds, location, forgetfulness, obligations elsewhere, or even man-made obstructions, but the other night I was left with the feeling I had been denied what should come naturally.
   We can’t always appreciate a night under a Full Moon, but when you know it is there you should still permit yourself time for reflection (if not meditation).
   Our awareness shifts when we are allowed some clarity. Emotionally, the intensity of everything becomes abundantly clear and we persist in seeking the stability we desire.
   The answers are not always there when the inspiration is obscured.
   Even so, evermore, we continue to consider the totality of its affect as we keep looking up.
