How do we choose to travel?
What is reliable in the rain?
What is our ultimate destination,
for this time, this journey, or
this day?
We move at the speed of life.
Depending on traffic, others
may chose to follow your path,
but not your direction.

A little cold, little wet,
a little tired and yet
I am here. Still,
full of wonder.
The morning chill leaves
little to the imagination
and much less
to hope for.
Expected, perhaps, as it
always is, this time, this
season is only what
we ask of it.

The answers are far less certain
than even last week, to all those
perennial questions or solutions
you might seek.
What do you believe, or
what do you believe in?
Come Monday, you have fewer
questions than you had last week.
For a while there are less doubts
in what you believe.
Whom do you believe in,
and who believes in you?

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

There is no way of “correctly”
living your life; there are far too
many faults, imperfections, and
interruptions for that to happen.
You are too flawed (we all are),
but it is within the many
inadequacies, between all those
blemishes and scars that we
make life happen, as it does.
If you try to live life “correctly”
you will become too cautious
and miss so many opportunities.
Try, instead, to live your life
“completely”, taking in all that
is around you, and absorbing as
much as possible. See, and feel,
all the potential and possibilities.
Look past your imperfections,
and those of others; see all the
beauty and strength that is (or
could be) there.
Enjoy life “completely”, all
the movements and moments,
each step, and every breath.
Live it completely, flaws and all.

One reply on “Mondays are just young Fridays”
Thank you for this reminder j.g.lewis , it grounded me. Life can easily lead us away from this simple truth,a flaw in it’s self.
