life notes; flaws and all

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.

another phase, another topic

   Full moon of the other night;

last night or

                   the one before,

   almost full tonight.

   Little differences day by day,

incremental changes

         shift our way.

   When suddenly the perfect sphere

   suffers a dent, or a bite.

         Another phase for which

   they do not name,

a Crescent Moon will often change

         until nothing is there, save

a New Moon, which you don’t see

       anyway,

       but you will see it soon.

         We mark our days

   by the light of the moon,

which, realistically, generates none,

relying instead on far-reaching Sun.

     Another topic any way,

         one to be explored

               by the light of day. Today.

the days ahead

Pack lightly. 

Carry with you only what is required.

Leave space for memories, or souvenirs, of the days ahead.

Enthusiasm permits you to turn a planned trip into a true adventure.

What you will see is nothing compared to what you will feel.

Don’t forget your camera.
