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.

Analogue Time

            I set the wristwatch each morning.

    I notice
    time calculates the depth of distraction.

           An adjustment,
           simply a few minutes.

In the digital realm consistency is provided.
Analogue time needs to be acknowledged.

A favourite watch keeps track of the nostalgia.

           It is not always accurate,
                                                    but true.

an agenda
Posted on January 24, 2023 by j.g.lewisLeave a comment

We document, in our journals, things we have done or make lists of what we have to do: it is a plan.
   We all have an agenda.
   A to-do list, either on a scrap of paper, an errant post-it note; a laundry list or even mental notes (often forgotten) seem to make it easier.
   It makes us feel we have a purpose.
   What’s on your list?

Mondays are just young Fridays

Yes, I will stumble; as I am prone to do, as I have many times before.
Perhaps it is my nature?
The patterns, throughout my life, are evident. Despite my trials and honest attempts to change my ways, I continue trying to define where I am or what I will be in this life.
Writing it out seems to be the only way I can sort out my thoughts.
