We look for, or expect,
movement naturally happening
in this day-to-day existence.
We experience what we
permit ourselves to see.
Sometimes it is not much,
or we fail to believe the
incremental, gradual,
gentle wisps of progress.
It is all right there,
if you choose to look up.

Mondays are just young Fridays
A purposefully lost hour will eventually go unnoticed, blending into the procedural moments and transactional habits of the hours ahead.
Daylight will extend further each day, but will we take full advantage of the illumination when we still fear so much of the darkness that has surrounded us for months on end.
We only have to open our eyes to see what we are allowed. It will unfold right in front of you.
Open your mind.
We must.
Ahead of us, past the seasonal stint of numbing cold that greeted me this morning, there will be vibrant colours from tulips now resting in the dirt. Buds will form on all those trees and there is so much foliage to come.
We only have to remember last year, or the years before.
Spring is almost here, and then summer in it’s time. Longer days, enhanced sunlight and greater opportunities are waiting in lay.
How will you take advantage of all that is ahead?
Can you see past the darkness?03/11/2024 j.g.l.

words we choose
It’s not always easy
to find the right words.
The words we use, the
words we choose,
leave shadows over time.
It takes time
to get past the past,
to sort out emotions
and reservations.
It takes patience
and faith to accept
who you are
and what we can be.© 2018 j.g. lewis

little attention
A clock pays little attention to you,
so why can it not be ignored?
Time: I unwillingly keep track of mine.
Hours or days, even months and years,
all commodities I spend little time
trying to understand.
It took a good half hour to see my way
through these past few minutes.03/08/2024 j.g.l.

Mondays are just young Fridays
The logistics of life are far more
than we need to know, and more
than we can individually place.
Ask yourself how you can be of
service, even if, in some small way.
Even if we don’t feel it is enough.
Who best to measure the impact
of a kind word, simple gesture, or
deep thought shared with someone
other than yourself?
If a penny saved is a penny earned,
then a moment of repose — solitary
time to your thoughts — can provide
tremendous value over time.
Think about it. Incremental change
still moves the meter.03/04/2024 j.g.l.
