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 can’t tell why,
           but you know
        you must.

                     Listen

         Beyond silence
there is a voice you have
     come to trust.
  Be cognizant, be careful,
 be clear.
   When your soul speaks,
    only you will understand.

candlelight
                   moonlight
you forget how calming
                   it can be
if you don’t take time
                   to be still
stop rushing
                   for a moment
look over
                   look up
nothing else
                   matters

night thoughts 3:03
Posted on August 6, 2019 by j.g.lewisLeave a comment

Darkness is not always
the same, all the time.
Even now at 3:03 a.m., nothing
looks as it did last hour, last
week, or last year at
this time.
It is now a different shade
than you thought, even
hoped, it would be.
It’s not your fault; the blame
belongs somewhere else, to
someone else, but
the shame is all yours.
Let it go.
Let it flow into the darkness.
It won’t be the same
next time.
