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

Are you brave enough
to approach the day
with the confidence
you found yesterday?
Are you awake enough to
find the words you know
you need to say?
What will you do
with this morning?
What will you do
with today?

We are what we carry.
Impulse, obligation, and
instinct pull us through
the days, across borders
and unfamiliar footpaths.
Step wisely and know
you have what you need.
Pack lightly; too much
baggage will deter the
enjoyment and hold you
back. Wanderlust should
not be contained.

I can’t tell (or don’t know) if I’ll be up before dawn or if I will lay awake tonight, or any night.
I’m attracted to things going on in our skies. Perhaps insomnia has a purpose.
The night offers perspective.
The stars, the clouds, the Moon, and all those mundane and misplaced miracles (like stardust, space junk, timid teenage dreams and erotic fantasy) show us how small we actually are.
It is proportionate to our perspective.
I believe our desire to see the reality of the sky keeps our childlike curiosity alive.
I think we need things that shock and awe to maintain our sense of wonder.
Like full moons, and like tonight.
The Moon is not simply reflected light.
