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.

The spiral notion of reflections
knowing the truth lives within the present essences
Seeing the country’s history revisiting…
From the Revolutionary war on sovereignty and freedom from oppression
to the Civil War about immigration and slavery…
individual rights of the states.
The equality of people and treatment…
being of race and women.
Wounds need healing upon knowing and acknowledgment
to change to another and different forms yet to be a comfort.
From where we are and where we would like to be.
Spinning the in and out of illusions and false words,
I continue to search for my part within these creations,
know the time is slowly changing all that is now.
Focus on the positive essences of truth I do see.
The increasing voices of the many seeking to be heard
with all the noise of the chaos.
Time magazine named Journalists as the people of the year…
looking for the truth and paying the price for it.
Artists, writers, and creative people have always
shown the truth to us. We all are looking for that truth,
within ourselves and the world.
It is a scary place right now.
America…the world is broken.
America is the world leader is broken
in a fractured piece of its past
that remained unhealed
from the uncertainty of the Revolutionary War;
to the immigration/slavery issues of the Civil War;
to suffrage movement for women
and the citizens wonder why?
Every opportunity is available or is it?
Choices, chances, and decisions create our individual paths
with our beliefs pushing us forward or holding us back.
Yet I trust the processes the humanity must go through to
get itself heading for the betterment.
I take time to witness, listen to the current of the times,
knowing the waves may get heavy at times.
Just hold on tight and allow the right actions to us
learning the better way to go in this next round
for Mother Earth and humanity.
Forward movement is the only way and I connect deeper with my heart and my truths; realigning beliefs which guided me through some strengthening experiences, discovering find my voice, my soul’s pathways and meaning of what I was told during a near death experience many years ago…
“You are love and loved. Don’t forget this.”
