a decade of days…

2025 is an anthology of thoughts du jour, unsolicited advice, messages of peace, philosophy, poetry, and photographs from the past decade of Mythos & Marginalia. In unchronological order, the years not as important as the dates, each post a reminder (if only to myself) that I do indeed write every damn day.

we can’t remember

We won’t admit
we share the pain.
We tell ourselves
again and again
we are different.
We don’t know
what anyone feels,
or how anyone
deals with this now.
We can’t remember.
We don’t know
how to behave
like we used to.

instinct

Trust what you must, but
be wary of your volition.
Things are rarely as
they appear.
Yield to your intuition.
Your choices.
You must. Trust.
Instinct.

a daily breath. . .

Expect more of yourself.
Expect more for yourself.

different

The pain you feel tomorrow
need not be what you know today.

The steps that take you forward
can often lead to a different plane.

The life that you’ve been living
will not always be the same.

The thoughts you have been thinking
are subject to certain change.

only today

The flowers concern themselves
with only today. Another night
without frost, or the sprinkling
of rain, is not a celebration but
a reason to do it all over again.
With unknown consequences,
each day becomes each day; it
will anyway. Make the best of it.

morning mirror

What is looking back
at you today?
Can you find the words
you meant to say?
Is this morning
just another day?
Can this mirror look
the other way?
