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.

just to love and be
loved in return.”

Don’t we need
to ask ourselves
the why and what
of change?
Or others
how and when
did it change?
It is constant
and continual
but who
is most changed
and why?

Those of us who suffer, and those of us
who grieve, need to be ever mindful
of souls still here to remind us life
is precious. We may find solace in our
anger, or drink, or convenient methods
of numbing pain, but should recognize
only loneliness is offered when consoling
your self. We needn’t dwell in severe
self-adjudicated silence, not as others are
there; within reach, within earshot, and
within reason. Trust and compassion is
always available to those of us who suffer,
and those of us who bleed.
