Be - Mythos & Marginalia

May 5

Be

Be content. Be true.
Be yourself.
Concern yourself less
with keeping up with
everything that holds
you back.
Be. Here. Now.
Everything
Will fall into place.

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.

cloud songs

Humidity. Uncertainty,
darkness threatens rain.
Summer nights and memories,
won’t happen like that again.
                  It felt close.
             I was younger.
        Still, I remember.

this country

Unity, or
diversity,
does not mean
conformity.
Each of us owns
hopes
and dreams;
they belong to us
individually, just as
we all belong
to this country.
Our views are
different,
but this country
is the
common bond.
Celebrate
where we are
and
who we are.
Accept
the differences
in yourself
and others.
We all share
the same sky.
Happy Canada Day.

as you can, when you can

June ends today.
  July will unfold with its timely splendor, but August is waiting in the shadows.
The days have already grown shorter, slightly, each day with less and less sunlight.
  Daylight only lasts so long.
  And that’s how it happens; summer can easily slip away.
  Make the most of it, as you can, when you can.
  Make a picnic out of each meal possible. Select local vegetables and fruit as it comes into season.
  Savour each bite of a watermelon, for the sweet succulent fruit will only quench parched throats for so long.
  Ride your bicycle a little slower; take in the sights, and the sounds, of summer. Should you pass swiftly by all that surrounds you, you will only come to a stop and realize autumn is whispering in your ear.
  Enjoy your summer days. This time is short. Make the memories as you can, when you can.

do what you want to do

You might not have what it takes, or you may be overqualified, but it should not take away your desire to try and do what you want to do.
You may not get the results you intended, or you could be pleasantly surprised at what happens.
Either way, you will learn more by trying than by regretting that you didn’t make an attempt.
Go ahead.
Give it a try.
What else will you do with all that time?

continue forward

It is step-by-step, day-to-day,
walking or wandering, simply
trying to keep pace. Moving
purposefully at the speed of
life, one way at a time. Now.
Any distance between here
and there is dependent mainly
on your attitude. Keep moving,
despite uncertainty of direction.
Pay attention to the landscape.
Be mindful of your approach.
Take it in stride. Breathe and
believe in the journey and you
will surely find a destination.
Continue forward. Walk on.
