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.

        Tomorrow is a promise,
    today had a reason, 
while yesterday, in hindsight, 
            was merely an excuse.
   There may be dreams 
    between the then and now, 
       take the time to notice.

expectations and experiences

Aren’t we all vulnerable?
   Don’t we all, at times anyway, feel the inadequacies that come over the days and years of trying to measure up to expectations; parental, societal, or otherwise?
   Even the flaws and frailties, invisible to most, are deeply felt.
   Even by those who fail to see.
   You can’t but help observe the reactions, even if they are only noticeable to yourself.
   Who can you tell, because you should, but who will listen?
   Writing it out might help, if only to remind yourself of the experiences and the need to share with someone.
