Exist within your own power.
Be vulnerable
to the shades of life, and
your place within an
ever-changing atmosphere.
Not always comfortable.
At times you will
feel despondent, it is
only natural. There.
Now. Find challenge in
discomfort and confidence
in the heartbeat
propping up your soul. Now.
There you will find
an innate rhythm to share,
not freely, but not
encumbered by fear. It is
within your own power.
Dates forever
remembered and
cherished over time.
Whether it is history or
the mystery of this day,
know you are a part
of something bigger.
Each year we grow.
Every year important.

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.
j.g.l.
We feel days turn to weeks, and then months, until you can’t tell one from the other.
Each of us, regardless of city or country, has muddled through the year in a state of temporary displacement.
It’s December now. I might have noticed last week, but it didn’t quite sink in.
It has been like that lately. It’s not been a great time.
You keep wishing the year was over, and then it almost is.
I haven’t done as much as I’d like this year; I haven’t even done what I should have months ago. Since autumn arrived, I’ve been falling behind.
Heck I didn’t complete all my October tasks, let alone November. And now there are December things to do.
Like Christmas cards
I usually, or I try, to get cards out in plenty of time.
I try, or I usually do.
Not so much in 2020.
Christmas cards are important. It’s that one time of a year when you want someone to know you are thinking of him or her; especially this year. We all need to think a little more about those people who fill our lives with meaning, even from a distance.
A Christmas card sends a little love, and whishes for a better year ahead.

we only can see
what we only can know
only if we visualize
or realize
what we want to know
only then will we know
how or where
it is supposed to go
only you will
say it isn’t so
what do you
tell yourself
we only can see
what only we can know
