life notes; flaws and all

Isn’t it?

Isn’t it
always
the way
that is it.
Isn’t it?

It is not
always
that easy
to see what
it was.

all right here…

Day by date, month into year, each letter adds up. Photography, poetry, fortune cookie philosophies, concepts, observations, unsolicited advice, messages of peace and simplicity; all right here. Daily, weekly, randomly demonstrating where I have been as much as where I will go and beyond.

more travel

I’ve not travelled as often as I should, but find each trip ends with more than memories.

I’m packing now, making sure I take with me all I requite to find comfort where I end up.

Too much baggage can be a deterrent, and too little always leaves you wanting more.

I only think I know what I need. More travel is definitely at the top of my list.

us

Some of us
have been broken.

Most of us
are just people.

All of us
need to think about that.

bank on it


Pocket change, common cents,
value and worth, present tense.

What you have, or have earned,
all you have spent; lessons learned.

Dollarwise or deficit. Transactional
purchasing power; you bank on it.

In our days of digital, financial sums 
now simply numbers on a screen.

Coinage; currency unseen between
sofa cushions, or the bottom of a purse.

In any denomination, money provides 
opportunity. It adds up. Spend wisely.

You are allowed to be angry,
      even with yourself.
      It is how we deal with feelings
      not validated or justified.
There is no temporary placement
      for all you have observed.

not now


Disappointment comes early
in the day. 

Unexpectedly, you might say.

It’s not right, not now, certainly
not in May.

Still, we move on anyway.

maybe

May: the month.
Maybe soon we will know
the temperature and truth
that has avoided us until now. 
May sunshine find its way to you 
today, and tomorrow too.

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