Autumn now,
it gets darker
earlier.
Autumnal Equinox.
Daylight hours equal
to the night,
for a while.
Nightfall provides
more time to think
or to rest.
Darkness offers silence.
Where will you go
in the night? What will
you do with your light?

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 every day 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
Can each everyday experience
provide you with a lesson?
Learning is a lifetime process.
If we only knew yesterday what
we will discover next week, we
may then have a better idea.
What will you learn today?

where have I been?
my mind takes me
places, now and then,
intermittent stops
between cities where
I have been and
somewhere I have
never traveled.
only in dreams
have these realities
happened.
where can I go?

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.
