Progress comes less from planning than participation.
Dreams and wishes require action and attention.
Start moving.

too much too easy
– to let slight pain seep into your psyche.
– to let symptoms become problems.
– to let that last mistake haunt you.
– to expect too much of yourself.
– to become disappointed.
– to overlook your worth.
– to settle.
– to stop.© 2023 j.g. lewis

words we chose
It’s not always easy
to find the right words.
The words we use, the
words we choose,
leave shadows over time.
It takes time
to get past the past,
to sort out emotions
and reservations.
It takes patience
and faith to accept
who you are
and what we can be.

insomnia
In absence of light I tried
counting raindrops,
losing tally at three thousand, two
hundred and thirty-seven, or
forty
or so.
I was not counting them all; only
the loudest, the ones
I thought hurt the most.
The others, I am convinced
there were many, fell
silently, normally,
naturally.
Gravity.
I tire of counting.
Why
do we keep track
of things
that cause
pain?© 2014 j.g. lewis

learn by living
We learn from each other,
we always have; by example,
by mistake, by listening and
watching. We learn by living.
I’m proud of, and thankful for,
the women who have taught
me and continue to teach me
how to live and how to love.
I am still learning with you.03/08/2020 j.g.l.
