why the worry?

Today.
Tomorrow.
Yesterday.

Time at hand.
Why the wait?

Why the delay?

Why the worry?

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

For the most part,
you can choose your view.
Wherever you are (or end up)
the view becomes personal,
for a time.
Own it.

Your personal view also depends
on attitude. What you see affects
how you feel, no matter how 
temporary. Where you are 
is how you are.
Own it.

sense of wonder

To be a tourist is to take in life, as it happens and where it happens, as you see it.

There is a sense of wonder that comes with knowing so little about where you are but learning as you go. The anonymousness of it all is astounding. You are a stranger in a strange land, an outsider seeing another side of life on the other side of this magnificent planet.

Observations become the recollections of what you have never seen before.

Mondays are just young Fridays

For days and weeks, I will be away; another time zone far away from where I call home.

Still, each day I will wake. I will do things that I usually do, but maybe in a different way. The sights will be varied, yet my camera is the same. What will I see in my viewfinder? What will my memory take in?

What I will see is entirely up to me.

You are allowed to be angry,
      even with yourself.
      It is how we deal with feelings
      not validated or justified.
There is no temporary placement
      for all you have observed.

not now


Disappointment comes early
in the day. 

Unexpectedly, you might say.

It’s not right, not now, certainly
not in May.

Still, we move on anyway.

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