A Good Look

10/16/2020

Sometimes you are surprised
by where you are. Other times
you can be surprised by what
is there. Take a good look.
Always be open to surprise.

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.

stay cool

Play it safe.
Keep it simple.
Go look at some art.
Climb on a bike.
Pick out a favourite
album (or three) and
turn up the hi-fi.
Go to a new restaurant
with an old friend, or
have a picnic in the park.
Treat yourself to ice cream.
Don’t read yesterday’s news
(or social media feeds).
Turn off the phone.
Stay cool.
No matter what you do, or
how you do it, don’t let the
weight of the week
crush the spirit of
the next few days.
Summer is already to short,
maximize your life.
Adjust your attitude.
Be good to your self.
Have a great weekend.

Mondays are just young Fridays

We spend many a day seeking the quiet only clarity permits.

   Until then it is noise. Not all of it is negative, simply unbalanced (perhaps undeserved), but necessary to help find our way through the bewildering inconvenience.

   How will you unburden yourself?

   Will you wrangle with the mendacities of the mind in isolation, seek counsel from family and friends, or will an outsider’s opinion provide the fulcrum you need.

   You won’t know until you ask, and there is no shame in doing so.

   We are all human.

your own context

Clarity takes time and acceptance.

We may struggle to understand each facet of daily life as it is presented to us; life itself moves far too swiftly. How often are we permitted the space and reality to consider what it has done to us, or what we are doing with it.

Life is one big concept. It changes, as we do, at times with no notice. How can we comprehend the capacity of our own timeline when variables continue to inflict unknown control?

This is life; at its core there is indelible authenticity. Find your own truth, first and foremost. By understanding your own context, you will be more capable of dealing with that of others.

It can be daunting. Radical acceptance becomes more crucial than radical thought.

it is what it is

The days are not always easy and,

many times, will seem unexpected.

There are periods where it’s simply

not going your way, or seems to be

moving in the wrong direction. Life

is lived as it is, at the time or in the

moment. It is what it is, at times will

get better, and you continue seek far

more consistency. Rarely do you take

charge of your life the way it appears

to take hold of you. It just happens.

You feel time expand and contract as

you grow older. It is a force you will

live with and don’t always notice how

life goes on. Until you do. That’s life.
