Mythos & Marginalia

2015 – 2025: a decade of days


a daily breath

  • cloud songs

         Days, weeks, then months 

         and years drift by. 

    Not always noticeable, or even 

    memorable, the time behind us 

    simply accumulates.    All in all, 

         the sum of its parts leads to 

         a life well-lived, if you take  

                 a moment to notice.

  • Mondays are just young Fridays

    It’s not about height

    or breadth, or depth.

     

    It is all about perspective.

     

    What limits you?

     

    How far can you see?

     

    To what end do you

    appreciate what is in front of you?

     

    Looking back is hindsight

    and you have already been there.

     

    Change your point of view.

     

    Look up.

     

    Don’t overlook opportunities.

     

    What are your limits?

  • within

       Secrets are rarely as heavy as 

       the weight we assign to them.

           The gravity of circumspect

       plays out, time and again. It is 

       what we carry as we decide 

       what crosses, or is held within, 

       our moral divide.

           Sit with it for a while, moved 

       only when memory comes into 

       play; last night, or the other, or 

       any other day.

  • unbidden

    When you are not ready to say 

    all you need to say, you remain 

    unable to feel all you are 

    meant to feel.

    Joy, relief, compassion, 

    beliefs, unobtainable all in the

    truest sense. Your solitude, like

    a sin, stays locked inside.

    Unbidden, personal inquisition 

    only you can reply to, abiding 

    precious time.

  • Mondays are just young Fridays

    Treat others

    as you would 

    treat yourself.

    Share when you can.

    Kindness has no season, 

    but is best served 

    with appreciation.

    Gratitude does not

    need a reason, but 

    the taste will last

    a very long time.

    Be thankful.
