2015 – 2025: a decade of days


a daily breath

  • protect your self

    one of those days
    when the weather matches
    your mood

    when you need
    to shield yourself
    from all that comes down

    you can’t stop it
    but you can try
    to protect your self

  • Mondays are not young Fridays

    Where you are is not where you will always be, physically, spiritually, emotionally and fundamentally.
    Even your location will change, even if you stay in the same place (few of us do). Forward is not always a destination or direction, but rather a state of being.
    Where will you go today?

  • future progress

    It is often history that clouds our judgment, and even prevents us from seeing the true and right path we must take going forward.

       The steps we have already made, even those unplanned, play a meaningful role in the direction we have chosen. But, they do not always have to chart the course of future progress.

       Progress, yes, it is what we must do, even unknowingly.

  • Important

    The coldest morning of the winter
    reminds you what is truly important:
    – a warm parka
    – garbage mitts
    – a positive attitude
    – good coffee

    Spring is coming.
    So is the weekend.

  • cloud songs

            Our dreams, scattered
         amidst our memory, last night
                or the one before.
         The dream, the day
         inconsequential as
              the music that plays
                in the coffee shop.
                It is all noise
           cluttering the silence
           we think we want to hear.
