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.

I’ve been thinking a lot about peace lately.
I always do this time of year — usually referring to December as the season of peace — but given the conflicts and chaos around the globe, my thoughts are running deeper.
We need a deeper peace, everywhere, at this time. I keep seeing the signs, but I’m not feeling it like I usually do.
I need to try harder.
Each of us needs to do what we can to foster peace, promote peace, acknowledge peace, or live in peace where we can, however we can. I know it sounds overly optimistic, but we need to try.
Love thy neighbour has never been a more crucial mission or message.
Familial love, spiritual love, physical or romantic love, or friendship, has never seemed more important to me.
To you I offer peace and love in whatever form you will accept it. .
I give my peace to do what you can to make today a little better than yesterday.
