I'm like a pencil;
sometimes sharp,
most days
well-rounded,
other times
dull or
occasionally
broken.
Still I write.

Common sense communication:
more difficult to understand
than it is to appreciate.
Speak your mind,
listen closely, take your time.
What do you want to say?
What do you need to hear?
Do your vulnerabilities
get in the way?
Pay attention to your senses,
expression surpasses language.

It is just a moment.
It’s one of the many moments you will experience throughout the day, if you take the time to notice.
We move too fast, too often, in our daily life. The places we must go and tasks we must perform — or obligations we are committed to — tend to overwhelm us.
We are ever-conscious of our required duties, but less observant of life as it passes by.
Take a moment or two, here and there, throughout the day to observe the subtle details. Ignore the demands and observe a few of the little things that may seem unimportant at the time but bring about a small sense of self.
It is mindful meditation in the simplest form, but it will provide a small shred of balance to this busy life.
Stop, just for a moment, and look.
Feel the simple satisfaction that comes with knowing where you are.
