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.

words matter

Friendship needs no words, but
a simple note, here and there, is
such meaningful communication.
   There are those times when the
effort isn’t necessary, but the
words are appreciated. Take a
moment today to dash off a note
to a friend. Words matter.
   Make it meaningful.

Especially Now
Posted on September 17, 2022 by j.g.lewisLeave a comment

The night is charcoal,
streetlights brighten
the never-changing colours
available at this hour.
There is a chill,
the air tastes fresh,
everywhere. Different,
especially now.
Still and silent.
The mind wanders
the same way
a teenager does
after slipping out
a basement window
at 3:43 a.m.
knowing
nothing is happening
anywhere
in this darkness,
but the freedom
tastes
like nothing else.
Find your silence.
See your freedom.

Unsure

I am unsure of where I am
really going. Uncertainty.

Perhaps I need a new map
with different directions.

Maybe I am trying to find
the wrong destination?
