Mondays are just young Fridays
Our impressions of what art is, or how we perceive any form of artistic expression, may change by the minute, with the medium, or be modified by our mood.What may be discounted one day could reveal itself in the next to be an abstraction of genius, or an even bigger mess.
Judgement routinely varies with thought.
Perspective is altered.
Perception is not always accurate.
Subjective thinking pays little heed to fact, form, authenticity, or taste. Feelings simply arrive (often unaccounted for) and may stick with you, become your muse, or be ignored the next day. Yet the art remains.

still we rise
We are all expanding
and evolving; spiritually,
mentally and physically.
Organically. Individually.
Naturally
we encounter barriers,
circumstance or
undue conflict,
and still we rise.
Occasionally we
cross paths with
other souls who help us
to see and believe
we are moving
in the right direction.
We are nourished
by their presence,
however temporarily.
Growth is good. Sharing
in the advancement
of the human spirit
is even better.
Grow when you can,
assist others
when it is possible.
Individually
we are strong,
together
we are powerful.© 2018 j.g. lewis

good intentions
I am going to yoga later this morning. At least, that is my intention.It’s almost 6 a.m., and a mat that hasn’t seen much activity in quite a while is waiting beside my packsack. It has been years, really, since I have stepped into a class. I’ve been feeling, lately, like it is time to do what I used to do regularly.
Almost a decade ago, yoga was a true constant in my life. It was a practice that, for all intents and purposes, consumed me physically, mentally, and spiritually.
Today, I’m trying to get that feeling back.
I have very few expectations.
My balance is not what it once was, I am often stiff and struggling, and I’m feeling the need to give this body the stretching it needs. My birthday a few days ago reminded me I am not getting any younger.
So, I’m off to yoga in a few hours and I am doing so with good intentions.
Namaste.

Mondays are just young Fridays
within the company of others
we navigate space
between now and then
choosing where we go
and with whom we travel
at times it gets crowded
and still seems lonely
otherwise comfortable
on our own
companionship makes
the journey worthwhile
