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

Month: August 2015
In my pack I carry a notebook,
day planner, a paperback, often
my camera, occasionally a
sweater, usually a sandwich,
and always a piece of fruit.
These are the things required
to get me through the day.
In my mind I carry thoughts,
a never-ending to-do list,
residual dreams, a purpose,
memories, and lessons
I have learned thus far.
Hopefully it’s enough
to get me through life.
Travel light, or as light as
possible. It’s pointless
carrying around too much
baggage, or too many things
that hold you back. You
should know what you need
to keep moving forward.
At the same time, always leave
a little room for the unexpected.
Whether it’s time, space, or
mindset, you have to allow for
new thoughts, adventures,
people, and the treasures you
may find along the way.
j.g.l.
“I’ve always been a word guy, I like
weird words and I like American
slang and all that, and words that
are no longer being used…
I like to drag them out of the box
and wave them around… this is an
interesting one, it’s amazing how
in addition to punctuation just a
little pause in the wrong place can
just completely transform the
meaning of something.”
