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.

a bond

Friendships reach beyond the path where relationships tread.

The steps, tentative at first, sink deeper into the marrow of our being.

Over time you sense a friend; all our senses are engaged.

Seldom do you experience a bond of this depth. True friendship is reciprocally nurtured. It is more than a feeling.

Mondays are just young Fridays

Today we will learn how little we know and come to accept it needn’t be so. If we ask for the answers we will find a certain strength. There is depth to our curiosity reflected both in its breadth and length. Thought requires time; thinking generally does. Answers take as much time as we devote to any issue. There is comfort in knowing solutions to the questions that keep us awake.

possibility

We wake to opportunity.

Each day, yet unknown to us, brings possibility. It need not be grand moments that present themselves. It may simply be a heartfelt sigh, a stranger’s smile, or thoughts of words exchanged just yesterday.

All are open to possibility.

What opportunities will you make for yourself today?

Stepping into the day unknowing may heighten both your observance and your perception.

Wake up.

knowing

Grief blurs the details

available as revealed.

Confusion shields doubt

beyond our comprehension.

Knowing is only part of

the saddening experience.

Learning more complicates

the facts of the matter.

Our ever-present humanity

is unhesitatingly interrupted.

We need time to truly feel;

only time allows us to heal.

how we see it

It is how you look at all that is going on.

Perspective.

What we see, and how we see it, can be as baffling as it is rewarding.

We need the light to shine into the deepest crevices, yet in the darkness we are more likely to find the solutions that often escape us. We are forced to look harder to see even the obvious.

Will you follow the light into those darker spaces?

one word

It’s only a word.
  One word, and often it is the
first you speak to someone,
anyone, even a stranger.
  It is a useful word, for it can
be a welcoming word, or one
of acknowledgement.
  It is a word that only asks the
same, and is easily satisfied.
  It is accepting of a simple
response or, with a hello, you
never know where it will lead,
or how far it can go.
  We could all use another hello.
