Secrets are rarely as heavy as
the weight we assign to them.
The gravity of circumspect
plays out, time and again. It is
what we carry as we decide
what crosses, or is held within,
our moral divide.
Sit with it for a while, moved
only when memory comes into
play; last night, or the other, or
any other day.

When you are not ready to say
all you need to say, you remain
unable to feel all you are
meant to feel.
Joy, relief, compassion,
beliefs, unobtainable all in the
truest sense. Your solitude, like
a sin, stays locked inside.
Unbidden, personal inquisition
only you can reply to, abiding
precious time.

Treat others
as you would
treat yourself.
Share when you can.
Kindness has no season,
but is best served
with appreciation.
Gratitude does not
need a reason, but
the taste will last
a very long time.
Be thankful.

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

Aren’t we all curious?
We wake, we wonder…we wander.
We never know what may be interesting or capture our imagination until it does, but shouldn’t we all be open to looking (or feeling) a little deeper?
Breathe in what surrounds you, look around (often) throughout the day. What will capture your imagination?
Your current plane of focus may not be what it was, but if you can see past what may have been an obstacle, you will find something else in your depth of field.
Look beyond what is there.
As the day moves at its own pace, attend to your interests on your own time. Sunrise to sunset, take advantage of the unexplored opportunities before you.
Be grateful.
Whether you search in the midday shadows or look up at the final few clouds dissipating into common darkness, there must be something.
Be grateful not in finding it, but in looking for it.
