Mondays are just young Fridays
What happens when you step away
from the everyday, for a while
(or longer)?
A new locale, an unfamiliar bed, an
alternative view overhead
there is always another way instead;
at least there will be this week.
Even a wristwatch looks different today
for deadlines have no purpose or place
this week.
A well-deserved break, to say the least.

What of today, tomorrow
or next week?
What about the weary,
the impoverished, and the meek?
What becomes the answer or
the validation that you seek?

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

A Lot To Write About

My journal is filling up with the reality we are living in.
I suppose it’s not that different than what I usually write; antidotes and examples of where I am, or what I am doing. Often I will glue in a newspaper headline or story that catches my interest, has some historic significance, or provides greater detail.
The thing is, most of what I have written, especially this past week, is pretty much focused on the coronavirus. COVID-19 is the reality we are all facing, day in and day out; statistics change throughout the day, increased infections and news from other countries. There are border closures and restrictions on travel and tales of self-isolation.
It becomes overwhelming.
As I always do, I write about my feelings and emotions. Journaling is a practice that allows me to maintain some balance. It is cathartic and it gives me a place to leave my thoughts.
Right now there is a lot to write about.
