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 . . .

    We look for, or expect, 
movement naturally happening
              in this day-to-day existence. 
   We experience what we 
   permit ourselves to see.
         Sometimes it is not much,
             or we fail to believe the 
         incremental, gradual,
                gentle wisps of progress.
        It is all right there,
        if you choose to look up.

I'm like a pencil;
sometimes sharp,
most days
well-rounded,
other times
dull or
occasionally
broken.
Still I write.

Mondays are just young Fridays

Advice to self

When you talk to your self
do you speak with respect
or do you talk yourself down
do you give what you get?

When you hear your self doubt
do you question your truth
can you not find the moral
in all you’ve been through?

When you think to your self
do you remember what is good
are you mindful of your promise
do you remember what you should?

When you listen to your self
do you take sage advice 
of someone who has been there
and knows your true life?
