What do you understand?

What do you struggle with?

What are you capable of?

What will you accomplish today?

What will happen if you
you reach a little further?

all right here…

Day by date, month into year, each letter adds up. Photography, poetry, fortune cookie philosophies, concepts, observations, unsolicited advice, messages of peace and simplicity; all right here. Daily, weekly, randomly demonstrating where I have been as much as where I will go and beyond.

Mondays are just young Fridays

Beginning any week, but this week in particular, I look for a positive sign or positive vibe to guide me through the next few days.

It is not always easy; and this week it is not.

The lies, the greed, the uncertainty, and the violence keep adding up. We listen to the never-ending news of what’s happening on the other side of the world, catch the arguments and opinions on social media, and we feel the impact on the local and national economies every day. It continues to accelerate.

You simply cannot ignore it; this inhumanity towards humanity has now reached a fever pitch. We have lived with war in the past, but this seems different. Or maybe I am older and can recall too much of the past to feel comfortable in this environment.

Peace is not easy; never has it been. While world peace has always been a supposed goal; hope is a bigger part of it.

Right now, hope is all we have, and it seems so far off. Still, I keep looking for a positive sign.

history

The questions of the night are

not always quiet.

The answers silent, for a time.

Day into day, again and again;

history will repeat itself, if

you allow it.

Try to look with new eyes.

It doesn’t have to be the same.

the right language

How do you speak of what

little you know, or learn

even more about why

it isn’t so?

  Without prior knowledge

or lived experience, ignorant

of facts which have not yet

made an appearance, you

hear mostly lies and

unsubstantiated opinion from

foolhardy prospects, their

followers and minions.

  Our world spins on its axis,

dizzying the senses, information

loses its relevance, its history,

and its presence.

  We try, harder than ever, to

comprehend a truth we have

attempted to understand since

even in our youth.

awake or not

Will an hour make a difference?

Awake or not, time ticks away.

Will seconds and minutes amount to much as we proceed with a new day? What will you do with an hour lost in sleep?

Are you restless, still, about all you have done or have yet to do?

The answer is not found in the time but is found within you.

Knowing there is something,

yet not understanding why.

     More than an instinct,

        the day will provide.

   Uncertain at first.

      The feeling, the wonder,

what will quench your thirst?

   A question misunderstood;

          the answer won’t hurt.

task at hand

What, to you, serves as motivation?

What do you think about as you are

working, or creating. The task at hand

is not always top of mind.

What is your muse?

What distracts you from your intent?

Is life a distraction, or is art?

Art is life, or there is an art to living,

but you do have to work at it.

How will you create today?
