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.

I don’t think
we can accept
face value at
face value

I have
too many questions and
too much time
on my hands
to believe everything
we are told

There is always
more than
meets the eye

Look further

Go beyond
What you are told

      There is mass and weight to 
   everything, even a thought, especially  
a prayer and ultimately a soul.  
    Emotions, and not proudly, are  
carried forward into days we have yet  
to know, destinies we can only dream on  
          in a life we are still living. 
    What we feel, and believe, is surely
        to be tested as we carry on.

always with the questions

It is, at times, mind-numbing. 
   We get bogged down by all that emotional traffic and mental graffiti, and all it will do is create further questions you may never find an answer for. 
   Unnecessary worries: always with the questions. 
   What the hell is going on? 
   What’s wrong with this world? 
   What can we do? 
   Whom can we ask? 
   Who will answer honestly? 
   Are there honest answers? 
   You end up questioning yourself. 
   Can you question your existence, or can you live with it? Self-interrogation takes up so much precious time. 
   Often you end up asking the wrong person the right question.
