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.

Passion.

What is looking back
at you today?
Can you find the words
you meant to say?
Is this morning
just another day?
Can this mirror look
the other way?

     She carries both
  thunder and lightening
     as she arrives.
Her umbrella gave in
    long ago, battered by
a wind which didn’t belong,
  but she didn’t mind
  getting wet.
Silk dress stained
    by misfortune, torn off
    and left curbside,
    she decided she liked
getting wet. We are all
        mostly water, and
she could flow.
    She reminded us
we come into the world naked,
     yet learn, or are taught,
  to cover up.
Shame.
It took her years to discover
       she had
           nothing to hide.
