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 . . .

this journey

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.

this season

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.

Mondays are just young Fridays

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.

I Believe

Deadlines and commitments, especially those self-imposed, are important. They set the pace and prioritize progress every day, any day, but especially today. 
   What must be done, or completed, will determine how you spend the time as you work towards your goal. 
   We all need goals.
   To accomplish those aspirations, target dates are required. 
   We all need deadlines to give our intentions are purpose. 
   Today is that day, for me. 
   For weeks now (and longer) I’ve been trying to take a project to the next level, and I believe I am there. 
   Beliefs are as important as deadlines; maybe more so. 
   Today is the day, I believe, and to delay (as I have before) any further will only hold me back. 
   Deadlines are important, especially for me, especially today.
