Tomorrow is a promise,
today had a reason,
while yesterday, in hindsight,
was merely an excuse.
There may be dreams
between the then and now,
take the time to notice.

expectations and experiences
Aren’t we all vulnerable?
Don’t we all, at times anyway, feel the inadequacies that come over the days and years of trying to measure up to expectations; parental, societal, or otherwise?
Even the flaws and frailties, invisible to most, are deeply felt.
Even by those who fail to see.
You can’t but help observe the reactions, even if they are only noticeable to yourself.
Who can you tell, because you should, but who will listen?
Writing it out might help, if only to remind yourself of the experiences and the need to share with someone.03/17/2024 j.g.l.

only you can know
Who are you?
Where are you?
What are you?
Only you can truly
know your relationship
to this earth and those
people occupying your
time.
How can you know?
Only you can provide
the answers.
Only you can know
who, or what, you have
been or where you need
to go, and why.
Why?03/12/2024 j.g.l.

I feel it deeply
Maybe it’s the continual news of wars on the other side of the world, the outrage in my own city, or of continued climate change threatening our long-time survival. Too much rain of late.
Even the rising costs of everything, and stubborn interest rates, impact our mood as we teeter above a recession, but I feel it deeply.
It is more than depression.
I’m feeling old, not always and not insufferably so, just in the biologically natural way.
Despite the threats to us all, ageing is largely an organic process.
Still, it is more than chronological patterns of life and cause and effect of a life lived.
Today it might simply be the weather, so grey that you don’t even notice the clouds rolling in across the horizon.
It’s hard to think of the better days ahead when we have been continually reminded of both the suffering and side-effects that surrounds us.
We keep moving forward. We must persevere despite the reasons, in spite of the season.03/10/2024 j.g.l.
