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

It is easier
to build
a good habit
than it is
to break
a bad one.
A new day, a new week:
a new week
full of new days
and new beginnings.
Today we are beginners;
we are
each morning,
and we are allowed this
each week.
A beginner’s mind
is seldom confused
and has not been corrupted
by where we have been,
or what we have done.
It’s time to
do something new.
Do something today
you have never done
before.
Break the patterns
which have become ingrained.
Drive a new route to work,
or walk. Observe new things;
a flower or tree you have
not noticed before.
Let a new sound
pique your curiosity, or
pick up a book you
might never have thought
you’d read.
Be a beginner.
Begin now.

“Poetry isn’t a profession, it’s a
way of life. It’s an empty basket;
you put your life into it and
make something out of it.”
– Mary Oliver
