  • why the worry?

    Today. 
    Tomorrow. 
    Yesterday.

    Time at hand.
    Why the wait?

    Why the delay?

    Why the worry?

  • the conversation

    Morning sky 
    opens to opportunity.
    Try to discover what 
    can’t be articulated. If
    there is a conversation 
    you’ve been avoiding, 
    that’s the conversation 
    you need to have.

        We don’t see changes
    until they have changed.
    Explanations, or excuses,
          slowly come with age.
    You can’t go back,
    it will not feel the same.
      There is no resolution.
      There is no blame.

    What do you remember 
    about how it used to be?

    Aren’t we often 
    challenged by memory?

    Yesterday is not 
    what it once was?

  • I say their names
    because I have a daughter.
    I say their names
    because I am human.
    I say their names
    because I remember.
