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.

Neither common sense nor familiar adage holds true. On this day.

   What it seems, all it appears to be, is uncommonly incorrect, consistently confounding, and occasionally borders on delusion (even deceit), despite its honesty.

     Trust your instincts.

   Your vision may be blurred, or the definite perspective is altered by subtle expectations yet, deep in your gut, you know what you are doing.

   Look past the obstacles; do not be deterred by the follies or fantasies of others. They do not know what you truly do, nor have any knowledge of your clear intentions. 

   Be confident in your own wisdom, it is both personal and acutely accurate. Your impulse is far greater than your capabilities.

dialogue

When we tell ourselves what we tell ourselves, is forgiveness ever part of the conversation? This is dialogue only you can hear; shouldn’t you pay more attention? Go easy on yourself.

wordless poem

Each line speaks in ever-present tense, past 

shadows whispering still, amidst perpetual 

foresight. Memories commence for a stanza 

or two, if you are prepared to listen.
