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.

breathe
believe
receive

A mantra or a mission
I’ve often whispered, a
statement of fact and
empowering reminder to
myself, and to others.
   To breathe is to give life,
to believe is to live life, and
to receive is what life is
about.
   Today, may you breathe
fully and deeply, sucking
the nutrition out of each
puff, pull, or gasp.
   May you believe in what
you need to — mostly in
your self — and receive all
you deserve, and all you
hope for, and maybe even
a little more.

   Should I forget where I am, I
only need to look down and see
my feet upon the earth. Attached is
the shadow of people I have known;
those who have made an impact on
what I am, and where I stand.
   Wherever I wander, the shadow is
there. Even in the darkest hours,
it waits to be reunited with the light,
to remind me who I am, and where
I have come from.
