Was yesterday
all it needed to be?
Will today be enough?
You don’t have to decide
right now, you always
have time. What
is coming your way?
Is there ever enough time?
Maybe you are not
a morning person, but
that shouldn’t stop you
from appreciating sunrise.
You’ll decide if it is enough,
in your own time.

A sidewalk only takes you
where you want to go. There is
no preordained direction, it
goes both ways and is available
to anyone and their dog. Watch
where you step, be conscious of
puddles, and the stepping on the
crack thing is wholly subjective.
It’s totally up to you, which path
you follow, or even if you want to
walk on the grass. Exercise your
rights, but, by all means, exercise.
Move at your own speed, and
please share the space; we are all
going somewhere and the journey
is far more enjoyable if everyone
is respectful of everyone else.

We all seem to be rushing
somewhere. The time goes
so fast, and there never seems
to be enough of it.
It comes with the season
and the obligations and
commitments we, many times,
bring upon ourselves.
In the midst of the madness,
find a moment or two for
stillness. Take a bit of time
to slow down.
Do what you are doing with
more attention and greater
intention.
Clarity is accomplished at a
reduced speed, with less
pressure, and more pleasure.

Daily we make up our lies with
pieces of the truth, indemnifying
ourselves from the current reality.
Hesitancy takes time, various stages
of indecision come back to hinder.
Arbitrary illusions provide a depth
only the imagination will grant.
Seize the moment, the inspiration,
in the obvious unaccounted for.
Can you face up to the falsities?
Time heals all wounds, but only if
you loosen the bandages, only if
you believe you have been hurt.

Every day is practice
for something larger,
or more
specific.
We go about the hours
uncertain of anything,
except the fact
we are here.
It is as temporary
as it is purposeful.
Learn as you go.
