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.

You wear your peace
not on your skin
but across your soul
and deep within

Faith now spoken
without a breath
transcending life
defying death

Thoughts of trust
not as a state
but as a blessing
to seal your fate

Emotions then
a matter of course
provide a
life-sustaining force

To hold out hope
for what is to be
you look and listen
with clarity

For all you know
all you’ve believed
it is not want
but desire you need

I won’t praise you
for the words you haven’t spoken
I can’t change you
when your heart is filled with fear
I don’t know how
to approach without some caution
Still I stand here
looking in the mirror

step into the day
with a mind
full of ideas
and a heart
full of gratitude
