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?

We want to know what
we don’t know, or hadn’t thought of,
or forgot.
What mattered then,
or what mattered when, shifts over time.
We notice.
Perception is what you don’t see.
Deception is what know.
You see it differently through your aloneness.
The truth behind a lie,
you question how and why.
It made sense.
Anticipation keeps us waiting
for only so long. Will it matter
if you felt it never did?

Slow down: even with the ideas that come to quicky. Take the time to acknowledge the feelings that arrive, as they arrive.
Write it down. How else will you remember what you were thinking?
Print neatly. You hardly understand the thoughts at the time, why make it more difficult to comprehend weeks or years from now?
Follow your own logic; only you need to truly make sense of what is happening, or all that has happened.
Pay attention to the lessons of the past. Be mindful that not all are worth repeating.
Clarity. Make corrections as you go. Flaws become more difficult to correct the longer you live with them.

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

Too much to wonder,
and so little you know.
What about
those thoughts, you
simply cannot let go?
You answer questions
with questions, time
after time, the answers
elude you or clutter
to mind. What is the
solution? Where
is the goal? How can
you get there?
When will you know?
I’ve got a little journaling project
coming up January 1 – 10th.
It’s free, and during the first 10
days of 2019 we are going to look
for answers and seek solutions
individually and as a group.
The initial details are directly below.
Going forward
is an extension of a bigger project
coming up in January on this site
where a community of writers from
all across the planet will define
Where We Are
To sign up, or for more details on
the journaling program,
