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 . . .

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

More Meaning

     Awoken by thoughts
            or a voice shouting on the street below
        or
               nothing

     3 a.m. or later
              window open    comfortably cool

this June rain makes more of an impression
   in isolation
                               silence challenges
both history and the future
   our daily lives and routines

   only a reminder
                   humans need humans

         Craving physical contact
we all need   friendship    security
compassion  and  hope

 We need more meaning on
        how we really spend our lives

The indisputable truth:
        All of us have sinned

Now we realize everyone needs
         Community

crisis or chaos
    we are denied

       guilt will find a place to rest

                  how do you sleep at night?
