How do we choose to travel?
What is reliable in the rain?
What is our ultimate destination,
for this time, this journey, or
this day?
We move at the speed of life.
Depending on traffic, others
may chose to follow your path,
but not your direction.

A little cold, little wet,
a little tired and yet
I am here. Still,
full of wonder.
The morning chill leaves
little to the imagination
and much less
to hope for.
Expected, perhaps, as it
always is, this time, this
season is only what
we ask of it.

The answers are far less certain
than even last week, to all those
perennial questions or solutions
you might seek.
What do you believe, or
what do you believe in?
Come Monday, you have fewer
questions than you had last week.
For a while there are less doubts
in what you believe.
Whom do you believe in,
and who believes in you?

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.
