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.

If the first meal of the day
is the most important,
so too shouldn’t be
your first thought?

We wake, come alive
to a new day, refreshed.
Fresh.
The mind springs
from unconsciousness,
breaking free of dreams
and the complex thought
it has toiled with
through the night.

As you slip
from dormancy to reality,
after you clear away
the residue of all
the nocturnal clutter,
what thought
remains standing?

The unconscious mind
is often better able
to resolve
life’s complications
outside
of one’s awareness.

Now, mindful
of what needs
to be addressed,
how will you
proceed with the day?
And how
will you make today
better
than the day before?
