discovery
Without thinking, worry, or
day-by-day distractions, by
permitting the mind to go
wherever it wanders,
wherever it goes,
you end up in the present.
You can find yourself in art
as easily as you can lose your self.
The dichotomy of discovery
requires little direction; you don’t
even have to pay attention.
Simply be.

July 21, 2024
It is the early morning when you are permitted to glance at what has happened overnight as it offers a slight acknowledgement of what is still to come.
6:17 a.m., just as expected, I was fortunate to see the zenith of Luna’s brightness. There, through the haze (or misplaced stardust), was the most pleasing sight.
Will wonders never cease?
Of course, I smiled.
And I without my camera.
Before, so many times, I have gazed up into the darkness, and many times I’ve been able to capture the moment. Today, with only a sketchbook, pencils and pastels, I was able to quickly etch out my impression of what this synodic month is all about.
Every 29.53 days you are given this exact opportunity.
It’s well worth waking up for.

as you wander
Gather your thoughts,
be calm
through the day.
Find balance
and confidence
as you wander
your own way.
Be curious
and open-minded,
for the wonders
will never cease.
Let go
of all your worries,
and
pick up the peace.© 2017 j.g. lewis
