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.

It is not just another day, it’s an extra day; the calendar’s chance to make up for time lost over past years.
Today is an opportunity, perhaps even a blessing.
Lately we have been fortunate to experience a few additional minutes of daylight in the season where we really need it. Today we get a few more hours of sunshine (weather permitting). We are allowed an extra cup of coffee (treat yourself to a special brew), more time with loved ones, or an occasion to catch up on time lost (just like the calendar).
Today is a good day for finding the balance that may have eluded you and realign your internal clock.
There is more time to express yourself, time you don’t allow yourself often enough. It’s not just a few extra hours it is an entire day!
Enjoy the fortuitousness of it all.
It matters as much as you want it to.
What will you do with this extra day?
