What gets left behind
with our unmade minds
forever rushing?
What do we leave behind
if we did not take the
the time to notice?
What is no longer mine
because neither you nor I
could take our time?

look around
Be thankful
for what you have, for
what you have to let go of,
and for those who are still
with you. Gratitude comes
in many forms. Look around.
Be thankful.

cloud songs
It is only silence and only
for now, a minute or three
but who is counting?
Enough, for now.
Slight Repose, a little grace,
enough until you have
found your place. Might be
morning, or the end of the day,
yet it is time to yourself anyway.
For now.

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

Together we walk across this planet, each of us moving at our own pace and direction. Some of us may step tentatively, while others forge ahead determinedly. We all move forward.
There is no proper way to navigate the fragility of this space; each of us will cross obstacles of our own, in a way that is fitting for our circumstance.
We chose our own path.
Yet we all need to consider that we have more in common than we realize, and still our differences can keep us apart.
It is up to each of us to appreciate these differences; in that way we must be similar. Together we walk.
Be thankful for all you have, show gratitude for what others bring to our world, and appreciate all those differences.
Thank you for your presence.
I wish you the best for 2018.
