life notes; flaws and all

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.

What Else Do You Need?

       Is this yours
   this memory
       a shard of remorse
a paper moon forgotten of course
lessons learned
       Wound beneath the skin
pain requires a destination
                         spirit within
without a body outside of time
common sense disabled
                wisdom left behind
    What else do you need?

Close Thoughts

The eleventh hour

of the 11th day, in

this eleventh month. This day

is important, a year we cannot

gather together to remember.

Few of us know of

the days, even less

who remember. We cannot share

close thoughts or memories of

those who sacrificed. For us.

For what we know

now, and that which

we do not appreciate as much as

we could. As much as we should

care even more, as we remember.

Look Further

I don’t think
we can accept
face value at
face value

I have
too may questions and
too much time
on my hands
to believe everything
we are told

There is always
more than
meets the eye

Look further

Go beyond
What you are told
