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.

Mondays are just young Fridays

Ever the darkness, every night or 

early morn, a moment for chance, 

the time to begin.

Still, we wait.

Incessantly.

We do it again and again, enough 

or a lot or as much as we can

if we care to admit it.

Why?

Can’t a shade of mystery simply 

take hold, whether we like it 

or not?

Must we always seek familiarity?

participate fully

Pay attention; daily, hourly, randomly and specifically. What goes on around you and within you will have an impact in ways you may never have considered, but you should consider it all.

To observe, even the most mundane occurrences as they happen, is to participate fully in the life that you have been given. Think about it.

How you feel now, or later in the week, is relevant to your entire experience. Those feelings never stop; however they may go unnoticed if you don’t take the time to observe.

another chance

The Moon hangs low,
yet the Sun still rises.
Each day
we have another chance
to shine a little brighter.
Rise up.
Be radiant.
