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.

Just to say “hi”

Posted on October 12, 2021 by j.g.lewis Leave a comment

The brothers and sisters we grew up with, the friends down the street, were all consequential and consistent elements of our lives for the longest time.
   The street where we lived, in the city or town we grew up in, is our original home.
   At some point we move away — as do your siblings and some of your friends — and home becomes a place you return to. As we age, as we take on new roles and begin families of our own, and depending on the distance, we don’t get home as often as we should or as often as we could.
   Home is part of your bigger community.
   Phone home, just to say ‘hi’ or “how are you doing”, or “I miss you.”
   Recharge that connection.
   It’s all about the feelings.
