Mythos & Marginalia

2015 – 2025: a decade of days


open space

  • This Monday

    I slept in this morning.
    I didn’t hear the internal alarm clock that, almost without fail, awakens me each morn and I must have blissfully enjoyed my time between the sheets without guilt. I woke refreshed without the residue of difficult dreams or urgent concerns that often drive me to the keyboard to tap out some sort of thought, message, or moral.
    It seems a refreshed mind is often blank or clear of unsettling thought. At least, it is this morning.
    I’m pretty sure I did not stir in the night. I’m pretty sure the air-conditioned comfort of the bedroom was appreciated; especially after a day of wandering about my city in the intense heat and humidity we have been experiencing lately.
    I’m pretty sure the last thing I recall before drifting off into the soul satisfying, coma-like slumber was the harsh and heavy Old Testament rain that seems to have removed the humidity from our atmosphere (at least for a time).
    The sun is out.
    So far, it seems like a good day.
    That’s the thought the well rested me will now take further into the day.

  • Listen

    Let love in

    Share the responsibility.

    Share the love.

    Listen.

  • functions of the mind

    We are here daily, in the
    moment and on the move.
    Flesh and bone, indeed, it is
    what people see, but what is
    beyond our weight and mass
    is what truly counts.
    Our morals, ethics, ideas,
    obsessions, and decisions,
    guide us and control us.
    How we react, and what we
    dream, our attitude, response,
    and how it seems, are purely
    functions of the mind.
    We think all the time.
    What we wear, how we care,
    where we go, even what we
    choose to know, all take
    thought.
    It’s not something someone
    else can do for you,
    there is nothing anyone else
    can do to help you
    think your way through.
    We are our thoughts.
    Make them good.
    Make them count.
    Make them meaningful.

  • Mondays are just young Fridays

    It’s the decisions we make along the way; the cumulative choices day-after-day that have an impact on both your present and your future.
    It’s a pretty heady thought, and not one to be taken lightly.

  • Read That Again

    You are enough.

    Keep believing.

    Never give up.

    Read that again.
