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

Is it even truth if you are not prepared
to hear the depth of details? Never.
We live with lies daily. Conspiracy theories
and counterfeit counterpoints. Fallacy.
Fake news from another point of view,
the source or speaker deceitful. Artifice.
Can you look past the mask of indifference?
Will you recognize what is real? Rarely.

Patience takes time, practice takes effort.
I need to remind myself.
I tend to rush.
Persistence takes thought.
Perfection is quite probably unobtainable, and the search for such has consequences. Better to strive for the best you can do, at the time, and appreciate gradual progress as you further yourself with study, effort, and diligence.
Any talent must be nurtured.
Move slowly.
Be humble in your personal efforts and celebrate small achievements.
You will surprise yourself in time.

It is not the width and breadth of the journey that counts, but the stops along the way.
How we travel is less important than where it takes us. Distance is really of little consequence whether you move by streetcar, bicycle, or on foot.
Each step an admission, every mile we walk, each day is part of the process of being alive: it’s cumulative.
Signs are everywhere, even if you don’t feel you see them. It’s when you stop looking that you begin to notice.
Observe: open your mind.
Opportunities are hidden in the moments, waiting to be discovered.
Take the time, no matter how you measure the seconds or hours. Calendars need not remind us of weeks gone by, or months and years, but of the progress we make.
