2015 – 2025: a decade of days


a daily breath

  • so much to do

    Do you do what gets done
    out of obligation or
    out of joy?

    Do you care?

    Where do
    I start?

    So much to do
    every day. So little
    gets done.

    I know.

    Do you judge a day
    based on how much
    was accomplished?

    Do you?

    Do you
    end your day regretting
    what was not completed,
    or
    do you end the day
    looking forward to
    tomorrow?

    Where do
    I begin?

  • true vision

    There are days where your vision is not clear, when you find it difficult to look past what is before you to see your true intentions.
       You know what you need to do but lately, day after day, you don’t get it done.
       You can’t see where you are headed, but know you will get there. That’s how strong your true vision is, or how strong it needs to be.
       Look past the barriers.
       Nothing can stop you once you stop stopping yourself.

  • Mondays are just young Fridays

    What are a few days between seasons? As if a shadow could tell of the time and temperature range from hour to day, today or tomorrow, or last season.
       Summer to fall. Now is not a fixed period, as was yesterday or last week. Those periods of time are fluid, ever changing, but still somewhat definite in our minds for the time being representing the periods or eras of our presence here on earth.
       How we measure our time, any time, always includes a proviso. The conditions we set will influence what is to come, as much as what has happened.
       How can you explain yourself when a short-term view overrides the obvious long-term accumulation of thought and experience.
       This time is yours; how you chose to share it will differ from day to day.

  • unclear

     

    You wander.
    We all do.

    Uncertainty can often
    blur your surroundings.

    Unclear.

    The map is always there,
    the lines signify the path
    you need to follow.

    You simply have to find
    the direction.

    It is all in your hands.

  • gr@ffiti

                   Anguish or confusion, 
            sometimes it is the way. 
          Anxiety takes over. 
            What else can you say  
         as you try to put aside all 
         the feelings that dog you 
       anyway.    No pain today.  
               Try as you might to
        see your way through. 
           No pain.    Not today.
