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 . . .

this journey

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.

this season

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.

Mondays are just young Fridays

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.

Fear Not

Posted on August 31, 2017 by j.g.lewis // 1 Comment

Ideas, arguments, and definite points
of view; the opinions we hold, and
the mythos or morals we adhere to
form the greater part of who and
what we are.
  We all have the right to speak freely,
and with intent, but we do need to
be mindful of others.
  Our personality, our politics, poetry
and progress is compromised if we
hold back our thoughts, or if we are
afraid of expressing ourselves.
  Lose the fear of being wrong, but
recognize when you are. Keep your
mind open. Respect others.
  Know your rights, but also know
what is wrong.
