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

What moves us, or how we are moved, will change over time. As long as it takes, or as brief as it is, we learn to adapt to our surroundings, make concessions in our personal preferences, and even alter our being to feel more comfortable where we are.
That is what we do; as humans; as friends; and as family.
This is what we must do so others can feel a part of this place we call home.
Let’s start a movement to make an improvement to the way we act, the ways we think, and the way we show gratitude for the lives we are allowed to lead. This is where we live and where we breathe, this is the planet where we need to believe everybody else has a similar goal of creating a better world for ourselves, our children, and for those who will follow.
This is how we will continue to survive; by seeing, and helping others to see all we can be.
We need to do better.
Today, even in some small way, take a moment and make an attempt to try and improve our environment. Overlook the attitudes and actions contrary to your own beliefs, and see if you can make a difference.
If we all do something, we will all become a little bit closer to what we were meant to be.

It’s all those things
that get in the way,
unwanted phone calls,
streetcar delay, and all the
seemingly endless disruptions
throughout the day.
You know
you need to get
certain things done, to
put food on the table, to
validate your self-worth, and
to keep this planet spinning
on its axis.
If anybody can do it,
you are the one. You should
know that by now.
Satisfaction
is found
beyond
distractions.
Keep pushing ahead.
You know where you
need to be, and
you will get there
eventually.

Sometimes the dreams
are enough to guide you
through another night,
or another day.
Sometimes we think
we can’t forget,
but we can, and we do.
Try to remember
those who offered love,
listened to your dreams,
or gave you the time of day.
You know they gave you
more than that, that’s why
you dream. That’s how
you remember.
