a decade of days…

2025 is an anthology of thoughts du jour, unsolicited advice, messages of peace, philosophy, poetry, and photographs from the past decade of Mythos & Marginalia. In unchronological order, the years not as important as the dates, each post a reminder (if only to myself) that I do indeed write every damn day.

ever-present reality

If you are not healing, you are hurting. If you are not certain, you are converting past pains into our ever-present reality, certain trauma unrelieved. What you know is what you believe. Further you forge ahead knowing acceptance will not go away. Are you looking into the why, and the truths of your life?

cloud songs

    What makes a morning?

   What makes it right?

      Alarm clocks chime,

     coffee scent, or the Sun

   shedding first fragments of

its life? Never not the time that

begins the day, shifting through

seasons slightly altered either way.

   Conceivably it is our attitude

coming out of precious night.

       What makes a morning?

       What becomes of the light?

tomorrow that follows

The depths of winter never closer than now. Breath hangs in the atmosphere sturdy as snow off the eaves. Mind the forecast, for tomorrow (or the tomorrow that follows) will be deeper and darker. You will learn the true strength of your character. Naturally.

come daylight

you must first
come daylight
wipe fingerprints
from your lens
leftover pain
from yesterday
or darker nights
when you
had to know
what time it was
your vision
will be clearer
today

feeling good

I slept in this morning. This is not a regular occurrence but was appreciated. It was not planned. I am well-rested. I am not sure how good my conscience, but I am feeling good today. I slept in.

do you

Do you know

what you are doing?

Are you okay with that?

What are you doing?

Do you know?

Do you care? You must care;

mustn’t you? Are you doing

what you want to do, or doing

what must be done?

It must, mustn’t it?

Do it. Care about it.

What will you do?
