Gradient change.
All we have been offered
unto this day will be altered
in meaning and ways
unthought of until now.
Variables: life’s way
of maintaining interest in
any subject or circumstance.
This is the nature of change.
Miracles beyond
immediate comprehension,
what remains are patterns of
perspective guiding us toward
coming days.
Already analogous, yet
not at all. My soul always finds
great comfort in the fall.

Today, September 21, is
International Day of Peace.
Think about it; not so much
the actual date, but think
about peace.
World Peace.
Inner Peace.
Peace amongst people.
People amidst peace.
International Day of Peace
was established in 1981 by
the United Nations.
This day is important, but
shouldn’t everyday be about
peace?
Is it possible?
Think about it.

“If everyone demanded peace
instead of another television set,
then there would be peace.”
-John Lennon

what if I told you
it is not what it seems
supposing I said
it is not all you believe
important information
difficult to tell.
what if you told me
you think for yourself

The sun is just coming up, the weather is especially pleasant for this time of the year and the 10-day forecast indicates it will stay that way for quite some time.
Not a drop of rain is expected for the foreseeable future and these summer-like temperatures, even through the nights, will continue.
There are better days ahead.
My morning coffee is bold and sweet — sort of like me — and, for the most part, my schedule is clear enough to allow me to take advantage of where I am. It’s a good place to be.
I have a few things I need to do but, more so, I have a lot of things I want to do. I hope this mindful mood will allow me to get them done.
Optimism is a wonderful thing, and it is easily obtained if you permit yourself to believe it is possible.

We won’t admit
we share the pain.
We tell ourselves
again and again
we are different.
We don’t know
what anyone feels,
or how anyone
deals with this now.
We can’t remember.
We don’t know
how to behave
like we used to.
